G'day macca, if you need any work done in Wiluna drop in and see Barney at Jim's mechanical (same place where the freight will be) tell him Paul from the power house sent you. He's a top bloke and will look after you.
Thanks guys. The Willuna mechanic might be a godsend. TD there are so many patrols on the road here. Need more of a description. There are all sorts of pods too.

We completed the CSR it was not easy but enjoyable. We finished it 4 days earlier than expected. I had 2 batteries fail more than likely from welding with them. Could only get 2nd hand replacements from kunawaritji and they were duds, $350 blown..... Lots of other small issues but worked around them all except the bigger trailer that busted the Treg. It broke the A frame draw bar another bush weld that got them to Newman. End of their CSR trip. 200 series and Amorok performed with out a hitch. Mine has a bush gone in a rear spring but will be okay on the tar 4000klm home starting in the morning. Been at Kununurra for 2 nights, nice to be in town with all its facilities. Will try a trip report when we get home, happy with my patrol and the set up but found all its shortcomings when on a trip like this. Tyres did it easy (Cooper AT3) no flats, no chipping and drove well. Turned out to be a good choice as were the Tough Dog Ralph's and adjustables. Pricey but did the job. The wild flowers were amazing. We met Gaynor Shoeman who walked the CSR. Also met Scott and Tom riding push bikes along the Canning. Great to meet them.
Sounds like a bloody awesome adventure mate!!
X2 with growler. Can't wait for the trip report and pics. Hopefully your travelling buddies will assist with the batteries seeing you were fixing their problems..
We arrived home this arvo, 10765 klm all up.
Had a fuse blow on the instruments at our last stop 85 klm from home. Were on our own now and drove home with no dash as I feared it would not start if I pulled the wrong fuse. Put another one in a home and all seems well, the blown fuse had overheated not shorted. Bit if a worry.
Any way all is good with us if not a bit tired, and am not enjoying TV, ACA is full of it.
Until we reached Halls Ck the only news we had for 4 weeks was the bub was a George and the PM had set a date. Didn't miss any of it really.
Work is stacked up on my desk so no Nissan stuff for a while, weekends jobs start with the lawns then try to start cleaning everything.
Red dust is a badge of honour but it has got into everything, it sure is a mess.
We are home safe and look forward to compiling a report soon.
Cheers all.
A beautiful camp......

Looking forward to hearing more....this is a trip I would love to do, and I think it is great that you did it with your dad.
Sounds like you had fun with a bit of improvising along the way.
