This time next month I will be already on this hopefully epic trip that has for decades been preying on my mind.
Instead of going in a clockwise direction as originally planned, I have instead planned an anti clockwise trip. This means instead of starting out due west, we will be going north and then north west and then west.
I will update the trip via this thread for those who are interested.
The Plenty Hwy is the central part of the trip. It some 600kms long, almost all of it dirt and it’s renowned for the number of corrugations on it. As such, this will be the hardest part of the trip on the vehicle and caravan. Corrugations can destroy vehicles. Stories of people driving too fast and the whole front end of the vehicle torn off. So it’s slow and steady and hope like hell the grader has just been through.
Last major item I’m waiting on is the second spare tyre. Hopefully arriving next week.
