We drove an old Mitsi Colt Hatch back around Sturt National Park years ago. No need for flags.

I loved Monkey Gum when I was riding Shot Gun in someone else's vehicle.:cool::)

If you have mobile reception you can use the "Tunein Radio" App to get almost any Radio Station in the World for Free (Or you can subscribe for extras). We don't bother using the car radio on long trips as we Blue Tooth the phone to the car. We also use "Freeview" for our TV as well but, sorry...

Definitely no shot at you @dirvine . :) On the same trip we ran into two others in a hurry to cross the Tanami & all they had on board was a 1 ltr bottle of water & were going to pick up supplies along the way. Would have loved to have bean a fly on the wall at Rabit Flat.:oops::D
