    Yes mate, unfortunately. Next trip will be 6 or 12 months . 3 months is just not enough to see what we want to see.

    Sweet, we sure do have a huge back yard!
    Great to break it down to manageable chunks though.

    This is what happens to crap tyres after about 20000. Mostly towing

    Fronts are ok at about 70%

    That's what I thought at first when we left but I kept dropping them to see if they wear different but it must be just the weight doing it. I met a bloke at cook town who reckons mickey ts atz ate pretty good for towing with weight

    Some stats from the trip

    Km's traveled - 15112
    Liters used - 2901
    L/100 - 19.2
    Cost per km- $.316

    I didn't count the last tank so probably closer to 16000 ks. Bloody looooong way but well worth it

    Yeah I town a large gardening trailer and chew through tyres on the rear so only hunt around for cheap 2nd hand tyres.

    No matter how expensive the tyre they just wear too quickly so dont bother with expensive new tyres.

    I still have my KM2's for having fun...

    So mate has reality kicked in yet??????
