Good to meet you too steve. Had a great time with the unimogs. Dan and his crew from Unidan were awesome. Really interesting trucks too. Our canter went really well on the tracks. Got through Ngala rocks without any issues. I'd say the goodride tyres we put on would be even better than the toyos we had previously on a different truck. The island was very soft but good combination with the parabolic suspension and goodride tyres. We had to drop to 20psi.

we crossed the Simpson in May/June with OKA196. Known P&M for quite a few years. Small world!

Yes, heard the interesting story from them about broken rear axle near Poeppal Corner and spare coming via challenging K1 line from Birdsville (instead of QAA line
). It is good to hear such stories to gain experience about out back. We too crossed Simpson in May traveling East to West and while comparing notes with them, looks like we all missed each other by one day at Mt Dare. Hopefully our path will cross definitely next time!

probably. We were on Fraser for 3 weeks a couple of weeks ago.
I've added rooftop satphone aerial and an email account for short messages to help the emergency communications. The 5m telescopic pole with 4G wifi modem on top worked on both coasts of Fraser - flexible campsite booking!
Ngkala Rocks bypass was a bit cruisy at 20 psi.

That's good and very practical setup. Now it gives me some incentive to set up external antenna for our Thuraya satphone
BTW, with Frankie & Wombat we are going on 2 weeks trip from 23rd Sep to Kwaimbal, Girraween & Sundown National Parks. Let us know if you are in the area.

Hi all
Another little video made by the better half I thought you might enjoy. This is 4WDaus on the Plenty Highway in the Northern Territory.

We need the story for this. How high was the jump that it went over? How rusty is the chassis?
