Have a great trip.

Teddington's a very nice spot. We were there between Xmas & New Years. Only shared the place with six other camps. Reservoir still had water.

Regards

Have yourselves a ball, Mandrakes.

Don't let that oversized, oversexed camera- carrying mosquito get too close to Pine Gap. :police:

Hey Steve,

I think the fence, tables and fireplaces have been there a fair while.

Have fun.....

I think I was the last in... I've got a smashed fitting on my rear tank, a trailer full of bull dust so everything needs washing, oh and a 6" tear in the tent...

They say things happen in 3's so hopefully that's it for me! A day of chores tomorrow... Roll on the actual trip and some good luck!

Forgot I've also got to change the fuel filter and tighten up the ARB bar bottom plates. Corrugation for the last 300km was shocking.

Was thinking of that joint this morning as I was laying in bed. Had to get up and have pancakes like they do on a Sunday morning there!  Yummo
