How long would the actual crossing take? Heard of peoe rushing it in two days. Just an idea but if we need to split into two groups, have one group leave the day before. Then we could do something like drive for a day, rest for a day. That way we could spend every second night as an entire group. Just a thought.
Any dates are fine with me, once it's set I will apply for leave.
Done!!! I'm in for sure!
Here are the calendars again

Given the dates above then i would think someone will be starting early or others will be finishing late??Quote:

Im not into school holidays any more,but when i was we just
pulled the kids out of school,lets face it they learnt more
out of school than in it kids can catch up real quick with
all there studies on computers these days,in saying that its
up to the parents its there decition ,its a big call but then so is this
trip and may be the last chance to get the westys over for a big
meet then theres growlers and the ttttt driver
it going to be big so lets give it all we have
just my 2c worth
Im pretty interested in going and don't need to worry about school holidays so im easy but i am wondering what mods does my leaf sprung gu ute need to get across eg lift, diff locks etc
Won't need lockers mate... A stock patrol should be able to do the crossing with some decent ATs or MTs.
I'm not talking from experience though, just what I have heard from others.
When ever suits me, no kids at school and traveling alone.
Told a mate about this yesterday and he is keen, gave him the thread let's hope he posts up.
I should be in. A fair bit of stuff to do in the mean time.
Has date been set ? And a clock being made up
where in and another couple as well
I'm a definite maybe. We were planning this trip next winter ourselves but as a group of like minded people it'd be far better.
If my D.I.V.O.R.C.E. comes through by then cause thats whats going to happen if I suggest going on another outback trip. LOL
i cant really see your other half missing this one mateQuote:

We're about 2-3000 km from where it struck, but from what I've seen on the news, up north copped an absolute hiding.Quote:

Good call Daz. I'm bloody excited too bad it's so far away hahahaha but then again I need that long to get ready.
Just told jane-o and she,s excited
come on girls get excited and come
along as well
its going to be excellent
i have altered the first post in this thread with the Date.
I will chat with AB about getting the details of this Poll and starting a new one with the date locked in.
Looking good people. This is going to be great.
I've suggested that date twice now seems most fair for all states. I can't wait ill get my fuel pump and injectors overhauled this year and Simpson next year. It'll be our 2nd anniversary on the 30/6 so nice honeymoonQuote:

Sweet! Where's the countdown lol tick tock
The site I use for the countdown now have restrictions on customizing the size of the timer....grrr!!!!
Leave it with me, I'll try and find another site.
Does this countdown at the top of the screen look ok for everyone?
Looks good on my side mate, except could you change Adelaide to The Simpson
I can't change that bit unfortunately. It's just the time zone set of the state chosen and I can't change it...Quote:
