straddie anyone????

holy crap, this sounds great!

Might have to get some mods to the commander. Woot!

i've camped on the side of the road a few times... prolly not the best thing to do but it's better than falling asleep while riding :D one time on the way home from the motorcycle gp races at phillip island we packed up right after the last race on sunday arvo & rode till about midnight which just got us over the victorian border (had a little sceneic ride through the mountains :D). i was so tired i started hallucinating, so we pulled over, setup tent & slept. woke up in the morning & the whole tent was covered in meat ants... we'd setup on top of thier nest :P

we just rolled the tent up ants n all n headed for home :D didn't unpack the tent till about 3 weeks later n just shook all the dead ants out.

Some pics from my last cape trip here.

If you head up at the right time of the year, you will not need a snorkel.

Knew it was somewhere! My dad, brother and I:

We're heading up in July, so while the rivers will be receeding there is still bound to be some deep ones.

Like I said I made it through (Late June) in a Stocko Jeep (No snorkle). That doesn't mean I wouldn't suggest one. They also help cut down on the dust getting into your Air Filter which, if you're travelling with mates and not infront/way behind, is a significant factor.

are you suggesting my car throws up a slight dustcloud?

No not at all. All i'm suggesting is that the road leaps up in an act of Joy when you honour it by choosing to take that route.

Also, Talking about equipment, ARB Southside is having a Carp Park sale this Sat.

pfft, ARB, if you can't engineer it from magna parts with a grinder and jb weld you're just not trying hard enough.

Probably no help for over here, but I just finished a 25,000km road trip around north America. Have you considered using a car that's easy to sleep in, we used a minivan with the back seats removed. Most of the time we either camped in national parks (they have heaps) or slept in the car by the side of the road. We only ever once got woken up by a couple of sheriffs in California.
