    • Gees you guys have got me thinking now!

      Interested to get more feedback on doing big trips with young ones, will start another thread for that though.

      I suppose at 18 months she won't drink too much of daddy's beer :P

            • Put me and 2 kids (they will be 9 and 11 by then!) down as a very positive probably! I soooo want to do this trip!

              Can anyone advise how much coin is required for fuel/ferry etc.

              Getting Prado ready over next few weeks with new suspension and lift, roofrack, awning, snorkel, dual battery set up. Breathers are being looked into.

                  Just did the Cape this year, we had a 40L rear footwell tank. It was good and you just have to fill up whenever you have the opportunity.

                    I had 75 ltrs in the trailer tank and a 20ltr Jerry . Still had full Jerry and water in the tank when I arrived back in Cairns

                    Has anyone that is going next year done the Cape Before ?

                        I've only got the 1 at this stage, she's 19 months old so probably a bit young for the cape!

                        Yeah the blower is highly recommended

                          I was looking at those boab tanks, I can't really fit one anywhere else so the footwell makes sense. Have you hooked up a pump or just gravity fed?

                            Dss150 may have 18month old with them , our daughter was 2 last time up the cape

                            If anyone wants to pm me details of kids ages, how many and if you will be Tent, swag or camper trailer I will update list.

                              We have every intention of taking our little one, she will be 19 months next June.

                              Anders, will be bub symbo and myself in a tent at this stage, still gotta sort that bit out.

                              I have a 420cm x 300cm 2 room Coleman "Instant up" tent but its pretty big for such a trip.

                              Thinking of investing in its little sister for this trip but happy to hear of other opinions/options.
