The trip was great, I reaIly enjoyed it I did have a few problems but you have to expect that, I had a boot full or spares & bits to make stuff up if needed.
The raidater cap was not the right one but i phoned through to dubbo & the ordered one in & it was there 1st thing the next morning, also one of the shocks give way ( the split pin broke & the bushes were gone) I fixed that at the motel in dubbo ( the motel stay cost me more than fuel )

the weather was shocking as i got closer to stanthorpe gale winds pelting rain all good mini conditions the alternater packed it in about 45 min from getting there 10pm, wacked another battery in & drove like the blazers lol
even got aquaplaining down to a fine art
got lots of waves & toots from others on the road (all Good)
the truckies were great they didnt sit up me backside like the cars did ( i just let em through when ever I could )
