Haven't worked out exactly what we will do at/after we arrive at Alice Springs yet. Hopefully we will catch up with my parents there (they are "Grey Nomads" that are currently somewhere south of Perth)
Additional Mods
After blinding every Possum from Townsville to Cairns after the 4wd training course we did a month, I decided that the bus needed air bags, so I had them install last break and went up the range to Tinaroo for the weekend after fitting and they improved the handling markedly.
Have purchased a GME MT410G EPIRB (WITH GPS) (MT410G) and a couple of small 1watt hand held UHF radios (GME TX650) to supplement the UHF in the car. Have ordered a R&R Beadbreaker Tyre repair kit.
Also purchased the Outback Travellers Guides to the Plenty Hwy and Tanami Road.
Next on the shopping list is some spare radiator hoses and fan belts. Also need to look at extending the mudflaps on the rear to stop debris going over the top of the rock guard on the front of the trailer.
Have a couple more shake down trips planned over the next couple of months, Innot Hot Springs and then Cooktown/Lakefield NP during the school holidays.
Cheers,
Kevin
