G'Day all, we are planning a trip in July - doing the Strzelecki track to Innamincka, camping for 4 nights or so, then returning via Arkaroola, where we will probably camp for 4 nights, with a couple of nights at Willows Springs on the way back.
Vehicles will be two prado's, 03 GXL TD, and my 03 TD Grande. Towing off road camper trailers (one hired). Both vehicles standard apart from Coopers A/T tyres on the GXL and 265/70/17 BFG AT's on the Grande.
Thought I'd ask the combined collective their thoughts on what would be really required for this trip from a vehicle perspective, i.e. do we need a second spare (?), radiator hoses, other spares etc etc.
I have seen lists that are quite extensive (and look expensive) especially when its likely to be our one major outback trip this year (Meerenie Loop out of Alice was planned last year, but we had to postpone, will be looking to do that next year) , however some other friends of ours have said they go where we are going in their Subaru's with no problems at all.
We are looking to do some of the trips out of Innamincka to the famous sites in the local area and will probably want to do Skytrek at Willow springs, although I'm not sure if its suitable for Standard vehicles.
I'm not sure what condition the Strzelecki is in these days, I have heard some reports its like a highway and other reports that say it varies.
Any advice would be appreciated.
