MudRunnerTD doing the Madigan Line 2012

[MudRunnerTD]

I have jumped onto Tappa Tap so I can post a couple of pics from my phone. I used the phone for the first few days then pulled the big cam out . I should have gone the good cam earlier but oh well, I had a bit going on

Here are a couple of pics of the car loaded and showing the roof load.

On the roof went an RV4 oz tent, 3 Jerry cans of diesel, 2 max trax, roof bag with a bare spare tyre and tyre changing gear and a heap of "just in case" spares ( belts and hoses) for the mighty TD42 and a work bench I used to safely load the roof each day and it came in super handy as part of the kitchen when cooking each night.

The 25lt drum you can see at the back was the washing machine . Fill it with 5 or 6lt of water, some front loader powder and your washing and go driving! Ring out the washing when you get to your destination. Worked a treat.

So the call came early from our fellow traveller in the Hilux (Kevin) that he had a broken a front strut on his Hilux on the Oodnadatta TK damn it so time to find some parts for him.

We pulled into the wrecker in Mildura and were happy to hear that he had a front rack off a hilux in his lot and could help with what we needed.

Loaded with the parts we needed we hit the road again, we headed North West and got through Renmark to find the sky open up and the rain came down.

We pulled into a wayside stop and pitched the first night camp as quick as we could. All good though as the rain left us and the sky cleared to let the warmth of the day float away.

Cold! It got real cold!

We went to bed with a wet car and woke to a car covered in frozen rain drops and thick ice on the tent!
