Hey guys
Everyone has a to do list before they go and I have one on mine. I went into Bursons today enquiring about the struts that keep the bonnet up. (mine keep the bonnet closed very well!!)
At $100 each I was wondering if that's what they should cost ? I was told to buy good ones but at $100 ea they had better be good!

Hey, meant to add earlier... they might not be worth $150 but those Westprint maps in the back of Parks Booklet aren't too shabby are they.
Neither is the booklet for that matter.
Don't feel quite so bad about the price of the Pass now.
Our mob charge $88 (or $110 if you want a quarterly mag) but we have a poo poo more parkland to manage (or as some would have it MISmanage) as well
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
Yeah they look alright mate.
How much diesel is everyone planning on taking? I was hoping I would be fine with just the 95L and the 75L tanks because I don't really want to bring a jerry can.
I like to work on having 1,000 K's range from full fuel load. Having said that however I will usually top off at most opportunities.
For example Perth to Carnarvon is doable but wherever I stop for smoko/lunch (Dongara/Geraldton/Northhampton) I'll top off the tanks.
Yes, it means a few extra litres get used lugging the fuel but if I get to Carnarvon with better than 1/2 a tank instead of empty and there is some sort of fuel issue I can make Karratha
I have 145 and 85 (which I count as 200 useable)... but...
I still don't have any figures on my 6.5 Chev/4L85 auto with 35's fuel useage towing 1800 Kg.
I figure anything more than 20 I'll be pissed, 17's to 20 happy, less than 17 over the moon.
I don't pick up the new and improved "Fortress of Evil" until 2 weeks before I set off so it will have a fairly limited shakedown trip prior to leaving.
Purely because I don't have figures yet I "might" throw on 2 x 20 litre jerries but it's hardly worth the effort of lugging an extra $70 of fuel for 7,000 K's versus a... what... $110 splash so I think I'll most likely go with just the vehicle tankage.
