|
A freind of mine came over from Victoria for a visit a couple of months ago. He and his son drove their 77 ex army kombi over but it was no amble across the Nullabor.
They did somthing a little different.
A quick summery of their trip is as follows.
They left Shepparton in Victoria and headed for Adelaide. Once there they got onto the Oodnadtta track to Alice Springs. Then on the Tanami track to Halls Creek and Derby.
Then the Gibb River road and Down to Broome,Cannarvon,Gerldton and on To Perth for a bit if a rest and a catch up with family and freinds.
Then finally back across the Nullabor home to Victoria. All up just over 10000 kms in 34 days.
About ready to hit the road

| What a great trip. When I was up in the Kimberleys a couple of years back I thought of the Tanami and the Gibb River Road but the others with me in 4WD and caravans were not keen. So we didn't. I'll have to go back. |
