Nothing irasponsable with that, it's even a closed road.

Booked ya tickets yet?

[Fatzook]

What date are you hoping to leave NT, and what date shall you be returning?

[shep]

I haven't thought that far ahead. If ya keen I will work it out tonight. I don't mind making a trip of it if ya want to look around.

Exactly what I was thinking.

I just need some dates to see what flights are available.

[SuziBlu]

Bring the sierra, more fun places to go in that.

Got plenty of those

Maybe coz im used to dirty great big diesels rumbling away but I do not really mind the sierras noise.

I bought the Maruti from Goolwa to coffins, only stopped for fuel, no back, freezing cold, noisy as, loved every minute of it, bout 10 hour run.

[shep]

My tyres are what makes my car noisy. If the Sierra is finished I will just put a set of 33 inch AT tyres on it. Won't be finished but so will drive the ute cos of the animals in central oz.

[shep]

will leave katherine on the 10th june and i will have to be back on the 17th

[Fatzook]

Rightio. I'll see what flights are available.

[whincup]

i've done 3500km (darwin to central queensland with a bit of detour to avoid flood waters). strangely enough, i actually like how rough sierra's are... perhaps not on heavy corrugations, but generally speaking. i'd take the sierra without hesitation

[sogone]

If fatzook can't make it I can probably come.

[shep]

i am going to take the toyota as i have found a cheap supply of chip fat fuel and i can carry 760 liters of fuel easily enough

[shep]

come on girlymenhippies someone must want a cheap holiday?

change of dates. i have to be back on the 15/16 because i have a fishing comp starting on the 17th.

[Fatzook]

Yeah I'm out

Was a long shot anyways. Best I can manage is a few days, so I may be able to fly to ADL for the meet-up.

Hope you can make it. Surely someone in Adelaide could pick you up?????
I was looking forward to meeting you after reading so many of your posts.

[Fatzook]

I can rent a falcadore if need be.

The missus may be in ADL for work anyway, so I'd just tag along lol

Pete, 8 hours by car, 40 mins by plane, easy choice mate.
