Thank you. Thats close enough for what I need ..

I don't consider you rude at all. No, I don't have paper maps and my electronic mapping doesn't show either track. I have done the Madigan before and crossed the Simpson 10 times, and this year will be 11. The Hay is new to me but i don't ask for myself as I am asking for someone else.

Planning a trip from Mt. Dare across the Madigan. north on the Hay River track to Jervious for fuel.. Can anyone tell me off hand the distance between Mt. Dare and Jervious Three vehicles. 200 series. 79 series and a 3 litre Hilux . Thanks Ian........

I agree with what you say about unreliable vehicles. But if you can afford the permit and the recovery insurance you should be able to make your vehicle in your words fit for purpose.. Murphys law has it that unfortunately the ones you describe will break down outside the recovery area.

Still expencive for what you get.. I've been across 10 times and number 11 later this year.. Never needed a recovery for any one with me in the past.. I choose to take the chance and at those prices i am 4-5K.in front.

Not making anything up either. I have HJ47 I bought new in1982 for $12,000 on the road and i kept it just to remind me not to buy another Toyota. Since then I am on my second 79. and this one is heavily modified. When i buy something I buy it for me, and i dont give a stuff what others...

Yes you are right about club access, but Lake Eyre is a bit too far for a club weekend.. Do the survey people..I told them it is discrimination against white folks..As far as respect for the local custodiations go, they also need to respect the white towns they run riot in and rob the tourist.

You get all your money back...Good investment.

As an old farmer i dont believe that. We had a couple of wild cats hang around the hay sheds keeping the mice in control.. They did breed of course but as soon as they were old enough to come out on their own or she brought them out,,,The dogs cleaned them up very quickly. The problem i see...

A couple of Panadol in a sorcer of milk works well, so i'm told.

I've been covering the VHC. for close 45 years and i certainly dont know anywhere that the bush has not regenerated. In fact i could show you many places that the recovery has been so thick that you could not walk through the regrowth. Maybe the denuded places you refer to has been caused from...

Top of Actuator. Flexable tube about 70mm. long. Another smaller tube slides into this and it goes up through the wiring loom to about chassis height. I have extended this to come out in the engine bay.

Yes i do remember that as well..IT was suggested that the Actuator breather be extended which i have done. Not conpletely convinced its water from the outside, but may even be condensation, which would make sealing with Silastic useless.

This one has plenty of use especially on the Canning. I have been thinking of pressurising the actuator with compressed air to keep the water out.

I have a 2021 Landcruiser. 79 series with front and rear locker. The problem i'm having is, water getting into the Actuator that engages the rear diff. Front is ok but a little slow engaging. Toyota to their credit have replaced the Actuator twice but i cant see them doing this forever...

I have plans of doing the Canning this year north to south starting 1st of Augurst if all the tracks dry out. The last time i was there was in 2018 and there was a 600k. detour around flood water i think around well 28. As mentioned above stay at well 6. Known as Piere Springs and a beautiful...

I started going into Wonnangatta in 1980.. Zeka spur was there then but not where it is now. It was a lot shorter back then, but when Zeka creek was closed and traffic increased on the Spur the surface in a lot of places deteriated and needed a lot of maintance. Sections of the track were...

Better get used to name changers if the yes vote gets in. I for one will never change from the name i know. At least i know and where I'm going.

I've tried most over a number of different vehicles and now on Shark Skins. Cool in summer and warm in winter, water proof and can wipe clean with a damp cloth. Easy to fit and the only conplaint i would have is the tiedowns under the seat are a bit piss poor. Otherwise perfect.

From my last conversation to Marilinga, they were not allowing access to the Anne Beadell. Worth checking first as they told me i would have to go back and come up the Stewart Hwy. to coober Pedy.
