Ok so for those not on the messenger chat, you will need to book your desert pass online and also your camping, they require you to book a site now so when you have paid online for the pass then book your camping and use the reference number of your pass to get free camping at Dalhousie .

No mate anyone is welcome, bob n di are coming as well and possibly kallen n Nissa depending on their schedule, I’m thinking camp at haddon like we did last time then either Burke n wills dig tree or innamincka before Cameron corner so 3 nights, then down to farina, wilpena pound and Quorn. Nothing set in concrete.

We're 100% follwing bloke.
We're not needed back till the weekend of the 20th.
So have plenty of time for Innamincka.
We may shoot once we hit the Flinders but would love to get to Farina again for a pie..

All done Stropp. MB & AB

Guys, make sure you get the desert pass first as it also covers the cost of Dalhousie campground.

Still need to book it but no need to pay.

Fitted the winch today, runva 13xp that I had on the patrol, all up and working 91A38E9F-81B1-46EC-8F4F-D4CF1F41F307.jpegA68D1AE8-CD2E-41C4-A0B4-CCEA77E7DECD.jpeg

I fitted my new washer bottle on the Gq and it didn’t work. Nightmare!

Pumps working, lines are clear, manually pushed water through, what the F is going on?

I spent a good hour diagnosing it and couldn’t work it out. Swapping washer motors etc.

I then filled the entire bottle up with water and it worked straight away.

It must need an initial pressure prime. Such a simple job and I nearly punched that new washer bottle into the 4th dimension today lol

Did a trial run packing the gear into the car today, all fits without any dramas so I’m happy with it all, just trying to source an alloy sheet to screw to the roofrack to attach my Oztent and swag to so I can cover all weather.

Noticed on other threads, whilst zipping between house duties & shed Simo prep duties a few NP.com.au crossing members here might be worried about conscientious rubbish cartage
A past life enterprise logo still attached but do have 4 available FOC for the crossing:



Suitable only for wagon rear spare tyres between 33-35”, you’ll need your own Occy/Rubber straps to secure.
Can cart the 4 x to Coober Pedy for meetup/collection, otherwise I’m beer swapping them with locals for Opal underground carry shoulder bags
