Hmmm, can't remember that one Fred, but we tell them to watch "Wolf Creek 2" !

Wombats........ a quick way to loose your entire exhaust system !

Beautiful builds mate, the Charger is my favourite!

I'm only seeing one picture when you click on the link Yuri!

Very nice!

Nice!

We call the campervan guys "Grey Nomads" down here....! And as the roadsign suggests, Kangaroos are the least of your problems.....camels....bulls and even eagles will make an absolute mess of your vehicle, hence a windscreen would be advantageous And as another member suggested, Roo-Bars are handy.....but sometimes completely useless Another general tip (See pic below)......be courteous to these guys when you see them....give them plenty of room otherwise they will have you for breakfast Enjoy trying to overtake one of these as well, close to 60 yards in length Here's a few more examples of what a Kangaroo can do at 65+ mph

I think your reading into this to deeply, this is where you need to create a happy medium between on-road and off road, far as I'm concerned it doesn't really matter what sort of vehicle is required for this run! This is where you need to think outside the box and decide on a vehicle that will suit both surfaces, so if you want to build a full blown Baja rig, WRC rally car or just a plain Jane 4X4 or even a standard car then go for it and have fun, that's what this is all about mate! Yes the route is not that demanding, it's not DAKAR where there's no route at all and you rely on GPS

!!

Good job!

Looks good Carl!

That's correct Jonathan! As I stated before, the red route is the current rail line from Adelaide to Darwin and the main highway runs pretty much parallel with this. The only exception is If you draw a line from Pimba to Coober Pedy then onto Alice Springs that is where the main highway runs along. The old Ghan route in yellow is a well used track I might add with many outback tourists tackling the old route

Very nice Mitch, those wheels set the whole thing off

Nailed it Luke, just awesome

Yep, what Tom said....!!
