G'day Ben.
I thought you had the trip of a life time crossing the Simpson last year. Now, it looks like you topped that experience. I can't wait to see what you do next year mate. :lol: :lol:
The pics are awesome and I hope to do the same kind of trip... maybe next year.
All the best mate.

Re: Cape York, 2010 W/ Dirty Weekends & MAXTRAX
It was definitely the second trip in a lifetime. I may be heading down soon for several other trips with MAXTRAX. I will be almost unheard of until after SEMA. I'm putting a booth together for MAXTRAX and keep hearing how swamped Brad is with That and Dirty Weekends. If he is hiring I will try to throw my hat in the ring. If so I better brush up on my OZ and root for the Maroons.
Queensland here I come!

Re: Cape York, 2010 W/ Dirty Weekends & MAXTRAX
Awesome report Ben,
Love the photos and story to go with them. brings back memories of my own trip to Cape York 2 years ago. Wonder if i can convince the missus to go back again soon.... might have to invest in some Maxtrax though, i got bogged 3 times (twice at the old Jardine River crossing, and once at Vryilia point).2007 GXL 3.0TD D4D 5sp auto, Toyota alloy bar, Hella driving lights, Safari Snorkel, 2" OME lift, MTZ's, custom drawers, ERPS, ABR Sidewinder battery isolator, GME TX3420, Tekonsha Prodigy brake controller, Waeco 50L Fridge, Mod Con Overlander Trailer.Comment
