So, as I take a break from working my way through the list of maintenance jobs that need doing to the Land Cruiser (not to mention cleaning nine months worth of red dirt out!). I thought I would do a bit of a wrap up, and what the future might hold.

Settle in for the final chapter. We’ll be here sometime...

Time to make some kilometres.

Here is a little map for those not familiar with Australian geography. We’ve come across the top west to east, Kununurra, Darwin, out to Nhulunbuy. Then Borroloola and across to Cairns where the pin is. Where we turned around and started heading south-west, detouring to Longreach. Just for reference.

Next day was chores, as is the case after a big adventure. Laundry, a big stock up at the local supermarket - food shopping in the north is a different experience to the southern parts of this country, especially in country areas. Lack of regular supply, customers, and the cost of freight means variety is limited,…

Interesting sign on the way in.

Another excerpt from our ongoing travels around Australia.

Come morning I give the Cruiser a decent check over. What with after fly camp extraordinaire last night (where I didn’t do my usual morning checks), and a good two days of rugged trails. I wanted to check that nothing wasn’t untoward before heading out into the bush again today.

Heading out from Tom Price that morning.

This is an excerpt from our ongoing journey to parts of Australia.

We have spent the last few months touring around the east of Australia, or at least the southern half. Here are some highlights.

Of course because I can’t have one, I’m thinking a Prado 2 door Utility would be just about the perfect daily for me...

Latest trip de-brief.

This is one of the trip reports, from our recent Red Centre adventure. I thought I would re-post this one here, for the O&E crowd.

We recently got back from a couple of weeks up to, and around Central Australia. We had to cut it short when one of our dogs got really sick (he is around 15 years old!), but we still got to some cool places.

Been a while... Time to clear out the iPad.

Been busy...

Update: I just realised the Painted Desert is near where we are going, so lets add that to the list. Courtesy of the always engaging Australian Geographic.
