    Well ya got all the "bling" 😉
    Spare belt / belts
    Spare hoses
    Water , and lots of it ! In sept this year the Birdsville recovery truck was out of action , it was a 3 day wait if you needed recovery ! We had as flash Britsh 4wd come into camp one arvo , the ubute hydrolic suspension had collapsed , and can't be dodgied easily , we got there details to Birdsville 2 days later , and the copper wasn't going out to get them untill the next day ! Car was to be left out there until the truck could be repaired.
    I carried 80 lt of water .
    Fuel . I carreid 4x 10 lt drums, and finished with half a main tank .
    We spent 5 days between Mt Dare and Birdsville , we took the Rig Road , Eribana trk , and the French line from there to Birdsville, Best advise i would give is don't be in a hurry , ya don't need to drive like the TV muppetts , only use enough peddle to keep moving !
    We had 2 cars both gu tdi 42s .

    Out of interest : one a completely stock owned since new , and one with lift , 33s 3in exhaust and snorkel , both burnt within roughly 10 liters of diesel of each other over the 4000km we covered !
