gday all, have finally made it after driving nearly 3000 miles off-road through some extremely remote terrain in 40 degree plus temp, often not seeing another person for 24 hr periods. feels great to have drove from Worcester acorns to Ayers rock Australia, thanks for everyone's support. my next challenge will be the change in temp when I return to England.
