beach pig Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 Thinking of just jumping in the car it's a v8 awd and just going for it my Aussie mates look at me and say I am crazy but would love to do it.i am crazy and just do things on impulse. My oldest daughter who is 17 is up for it. Sod it I am going for it and the adventure and look back on the trip as a crazy one but hey life is for living.

FTA Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 V8 AWD, Volvo XC90? Lots to see on the way. Fill the tank before turning off for Uluru and bring some extra to get back to the highway. Back to Alice via Kings Canyon is another option. Better than Uluru imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beach pig Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 Nah just a supercharged 6.2 adventra with all the bells and whistles. Thirsty for the trip I know but I will take fuel and provisions with us. But I also don't want to plan it to much I just want to go for it and meet the obstacles on the way.

beach pig Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 Basically I just want a adventure where I can look back at my daughter and say remember that trip. For all its trials and tribulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither am I, but I felt sick when I had to fill up at Uluru. The road to Kings Canyon is rough, but nowhere near as bad as the overcautious warnings. Just plan to go to Mindil markets in Darwin on Sunday evening and everything else on the way will fall into place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 And on the plus side there are no speed limits in place on the road to Darwin once you hit NT. Mataranka springs is lovely and worth a stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobj Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Basically I just want a adventure where I can look back at my daughter and say remember that trip. For all its trials and tribulations. Bugga me!! I did something like that over 50 years ago...Mate called me and said that he and his brother were heading up to Broome (we were in Bunbury at the time) and asked if I wanted to come and share costs. Next morning we were on our way. Three months later we got back to Bunbury after Broome and the Darwin and Whyalla. And what an adventure we had.:yes: Do it, mate! Cheers, Bobj.
