2 b&s cable from the deep cycle so it can handle oven, fridge and charging something else when driving no sweat.

I just had a spare 4.7 seconds to think about food for the trip.

Has anyone got any plans for food?

Especially food on the second week of the trip?

Is everyone stocking their fridge for the entire trip using cryovac meat on the second and part third weeks and tin veg when fresh produce goes funky?

I'm also thinking of taking my brothers 60 litre waeco for a second fridge and run it on freeze for barny bananas and ice cubes for drinks in the simpson desert...lol

Some of the young 'uns over here get nervous when we tell 'em "OK you can come.. but.. no strenuous exercise and consume only Garlic and Red Wine until we get back"

The Bugger drinks that VB pi55. We'll get him on the Bourbon on the drive up just to marinade him a few days.

So doing some research tonight about the Desert Park Pass. It is available at Mt Dare and is $150 and each car must have one. It is also available online and wondering how many of you guys are going to buy it over the counter at Mt Darr and how many have purchase online??

The Desert Park Pass is Valid for 12 months

I got mine Online (same as the Permits I need for some of the side trips etc on the way over and back)... I just like to get all that sort of thing sorted early.

Guys need to start the final lists for this too.

So unfortunately life has spun me a curly and I am unable to do a Double Crossing now and unfortunately unable to do the. Flinders. I will be heading directly up to Dalhousie via Mt Dare for fuel and roll out with the group on the first.

I will be traveling with my Son Zach (8) in the GUIV and using the OzTent.

Short of another Poll I would be happy to just do a list. Please cut and paste the list and see who is still going.

MudRunner and Zach GUIV
AB in the GQ
Winnie in the GQ
Roofy and Jane in the. GU
ET in the GU


Sorry, please add your names, on the phone and trawling back through the thread is tedious. Also the Poll is certainly Not Accurate now.

Roll up folks. Who is coming to the Centre!

Hi Jane here. We also have Katwoman and Steve coming in two cars. Also AB, Kat and I are madly cooking meals and cryovacing them and freezing them. We are aiming to have enough food for the majority of the trip. We both have a great setup with fridges and freezers.Its a lot of preparation but will mean we can relax and have a few cans instead of having to cook tea etc. lol

I bought a new one... Lol

Every time I looked at it I could see roofys face telling me off!!!

Check this out Andy, I'll be getting some of these . Mate of mine took heaps to Fraser, said they were perfect size for him and his 4yr old daughter but I'm sure I could finish one for myself lol... Just cook some rice to go with them.

Darren, will you be travelling up with Andy Rossco and I or going solo with Zac?

Yeah I've tried them and they are tasty. Even the general supermarket ones arnt too bad either.

Iw ill take precooked rice in single meal serves. Heat them in their pack in the boiling water and then use the water for doing the dishes.

I will probably do a couple of precooked meals too but buy my meat as late as possible in SA on the way to get the longest date. This will dictate my Mealz a little but worked great last time.. Zach eats sausages..... Sausages.......sausages. He likes Sausages too.

How good would a Simpson desert cookup be?

Yeah... sausages... yeah... uuummm they got me into a lot of trouble once.
Beef sausages are made of beef, right?
Pork sausages are made of pork, right?
Well, a bunch of us were in this pub one night having Sausages and Mash as a counter tea and they were awesome so I asked whether the Sausages were Beef or Pork?
When the barmaid said "Neither, they're Italian" all hell broke loose

What happens in the desert stays in the desert....lol

Everyone is to bring a bag of wood please to be used across the trip one at a time, it could be very difficult to get wood laying around. Depending on our numbers will determine how many bags and how big our fires are. We should not rely on the desert for Wood.

A Servo Bag or Redgum for the Win

Also now that I'm going solo I have some added space.

I was thinking about bringing larger Redgum logs (only a few) to split up each night as well.

Still need everyone to bring some but I can probably bring a few nice pieces.

Ab are you tenting it? I'm at a loss if I should tent or swag. I am leaning towards tent and I need to buy a self inflating mattress.

Yes mate.

I still have all of the families thermarests but I'm also keen to see what else is out there.

These are our old family ones we used back in the 80's.

I have a queen size self inflating mattress but other than being enormous, it stayed rolled up for 5 years and it is ruined.

Just picked a pass at outback 4wd.


$150 holy crap!!!
