The Prado is packed and ready to go. We are heading off in the morning and going via St George, Bourke and then doing the Darling River Run down to Wentworth. Taking a few days along the way to check out Louth, Tilpa, Menindee and Mungo National Park.

Safe travels everyone, looking forward to catching up in Mansfield on April 8.

Cheers

Jim and Chris

Have a safe trip & see you on the 8th!

The spare room seems to be full of food ready to go into the camper. Roof bars, new tyres, spare wheel bin etc will hopefully be fitted tomorrow. Wednesday hopefully to finally pack the camper if the weather holds off.

Got a few things done on the weekend but not nearly enough. Still have to finish off the false floor, just the carpeting to glue and slide to attach now. Still have to find bolts to attach my awning brackets to the bars, the local roof rack place suggested T bolts and have some on the way. Might not get the breathers done in time, will see. Oh and we still have to pack everything in the Kaka LOL.

Well I did a practise see how the sponsors gear fits in, the old 1 kz is not going to like hauling this load

I can fit it all in, but I think I will need to demonstrate the ARB track shelter rather than try & fit my own gazebo & make sure the ARB chairs are as good as I remember.

I apologise in advance for using your free chair & track shelter, but I have to look after our great sponsors & demonstrate this gear for everyone to see.

Sounds fair to me ####! I'll be struggling to pack for 2 adults over 10 days, let alone trying to fit extra gear in!

I'd be in real trouble if I had another person & their stuff.
Looks like I won't fit the chainsaw box either......

I suppose a reminder anyone who has a chainsaw please try & fit it in.
Firewood & track clearing.
Now I think the tracks will be pretty clear, but trees do come down on these tracks daily!

I couldn't imagine ever going camping without a chainsaw!! I'll definitely have mine plus a couple spare chains.

Will have the little Mini Boss packed, hasn't even been broken in yet. Also have the little 12v sharpener for the chain.

Stihl mini boss already packed. Would have liked to take the big McCullough but its a monster. I'll just have to nibble away with the baby

Can't wait for those campfires!
Cheers Ben.

Keep in mind my chainsaw only arrives on Sat the 12th ... nevertheless I'm still expecting to be welcomed by a big camp fire !!!

Ordered some spare camera batteries today - going to need some backups with all potential footage on this trip.

Rotated tyres, greased the prop shafts, next is a transmission filter/fluid change and checking the supercharger oil.

[Chris220220 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Chris220220]

I'll be taking the inverter to run the canon battery charger, two batteries will last a while but any nightscape shots and it will soon drain them.
