Oh geez, not what any of us wanted to hear! Not the sort of experience anyone wants to have to learn from.

WAVES HANDS IN THE AIR!!!
Thank you to 3D for his kindness and support through the phone and thank you to everyone else for you thoughts!
Well I'm alive and made it finally to Alice Springs (What an amazing place) - Started my job on monday and just working through my orientation sessions at the moment - This is one busy hospital and some amazing people who work here! I'm looking forward to diving on in with my new job..
Yup rolled the truck - God knows how it happened really im still trying to put the pieces together and now starting to remember the roll part of the accident.. that truck saved my life to be honest - i managed to walk away from it with a few cuts and plenty of sore spots but nothing major - I must have lost time somewhere as all i remember is coming to and pushing the front screen out as i landed on the drivers side.. if the roof had come down a few inches more i would have most likely broke my neck but it held up just right!!
Still heartbreaking when i look back to it all - managed to salvage some of my personal items but could not get anything off the truck that i'd fitted which was a bummer - Was looked after beautifully in coober pedy and was taken in by a bloke with an interesting history lets just say.. it seems coober pedy is a place that people can start afresh in!
Lucky I had SOS on my phone as i managed to get emergency services but they could not find me so i had to start walking to the main section of the oonandatta (sp) for them to spot me - But they stripped me off put me in a body and neck brace and off we went to the hospital! Staff where amazing and really made my time there much easier - Plenty of stories about how they had rolled their cars in the past even a poor nurse who had just purchased her car and rolled it that day!!!
I've lost my laptop somewhere in Coober Pedy so can only update when i can at work.. but you can keep an eye on billybleed.com as ive managed to get a bit of the trip up on the site - need to locate my camera also as it has some amazing photos of the trip up til coober pedy - I just pray that SA Ambulance locate it all..
A true adventure only begins when something goes wrong and i think my adventure has truely begun - now waiting on insurance and will purchase another truck to get back out there again.. it's just what I can find..
Plenty of Patrols but they are all 3lt and 2lt and i'm not sure what years to avoid there.. Also a lot of cruisers, mainly troopy's.. gonna focus on diesel with this purchase but just itching to get out camping as i had such a blast on the way up..!
Again thank you everyone and im sorry i trashed a patrol.. more soon!
