Reply #6: Cool..... [View All]

I'm currently in Australia and in the next couple of months will be heading off from the West coast and doing a lap of the place....which will take several months, given its size.

Me and the girlfriend will be sleeping in the back of the van we've bought, which is a Mitsubishi L300 panel van, but it's 4x4 with big tyres, bashplates and offroad suspension.

We should be encountering several desserts, many beaches, various river crossings + rocky tracks through forests etc.

WA is fantastic. Basically full of forests with tracks running through them and loads of scope for going anywhere you like. Even some of the main roads are just dirt tracks. I'm looking to get some professional driving training in before I do anything too extreme though, as I don't really want to get stranded in the middle of nowhere!

As you can imagine, this is quite a change from London and I'm rather excited. Obviously I can't join you at the moment, but if I make it over your way then maybe we can hook up for a bit of bush bashing, both politically and automotively!

P.

On edit - whilst we will be encountering many desserts, obviously I meant "deserts". Schoolboy error. Apologies.
