Travel light ,travel right, get the tent when you get back
He has the tent John. Perfect 4 peg 2 pole tent. Just needs to organize something sleep on.
Yep I've got a tent. It's easier to setup the tent than it is to roll out awning, setup stretcher, and then setup the swag.Quote:

How well will it stand up vertically AB? If its going to whip around a lot then it will suck, it it has some vertical strength like say a fishing rod then happy days mate!!
whoopie, looks like i will make it, my mates wife is looking for work and she is a bit of a tomboy, loves fixing cars and shit so she is looking for work so she starts tomorrow to see how she feels and i hope its ok as i can leave with the knowledge the shop will be left in good hands with my offsider Sofia who has been here longer than me and if Nerrisa works out i will be laughing.
3.5 from the ground to top of flag but as I read else where they wont be standing at the startQuote:

... but the way it is worded is poo.
It reads that if you have a bull bar then that is where the flag has to go IE not on the roof and if you have no bull bar and use the alternative roof mount it has to go on the front of the rack.
That is NOT how everyone else on the planet control their safety flag specs and location

Was looking for this one thanks mate
I saw some maths somewhere that showed that 2m above the bullbar would be seen before a pole 2m above the roof rack. So bullbar is the easier and safer way to do it.
That was my concern as well mate. Ill check them out this week and see if I can whip some employees.Quote:

Don't complain else the infernal bureaucratic wisdom of the Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources will jack the price up. Also give them a chance and they will charge you to have a sand flag and fine you for not having one..Quote:

My mother died last month and father has not really come to grips with it. So i am looking after him and things. That canned a Flinders trip and a Gammon Ranges one.
So make a good fun report and pictures so we all know it happened. Just want to know what I missed on..
Cooking Winnie on a spit could be an interesting picture..
Cheers and have fun..
