As this will involve most members as travellers or keen viewers would it be a good idea to make it a sticky?
Paul when you have time could you publish a list of spares, equipment and other things recommended to take?

Over 12,000k I averaged 16.15 litres p/100k towing a loaded Jayco Eagle off road van. Best was 13.53 p/100 and worst was 20.07 p/100. Fuel was the biggest expense.
I've also got prices from Vic inland to Sunshine Coast, some inland QLD, and east cost if anyone wants them.
So if you get petrol from the cheap servosQuote:
