I picked "all of the above" in the poll..... ;D ;D

Danny, you'll be travelling in a silver Prado, and you're worried about the white lettering showing..... ::) ::) ::)

Have fun boys. :cup: :cup:

That's a point!

Mate, having recently done a crossing I'd say the Rig Rd is the best route. Not as rough or as busy as the French Line.

See part 3 of Our Blog


I beg to differ, ive been back a week now and I found the rig rd the dullest part of the trip but it was sure easier. My vote for best part was waa.

I know these to blokes ( well I heard they were born that way ) and the silver  Prado is just a random photo they grabbed off the net - seriously keep a look out for a pink prado with   "priscilla 2" tassie plates but the stand out would be the white lettering on the outside of the tyres
 
Have a good trip Marcus as I have known for a month or 2 that Danny is not going it was just a ploy to get you off the island for a couple of weeks  ;D ;D

We are at Birdsville watching Bathurst. No decent pics on my phone and I can't get them off the camera until we get home but so far it's been all good.
The crossing was very hot and rough, more on that when we get home as well.
Go the fords :)

We took the French line and qaa. It's a difficult decision to know which way is the best.

We have quite a lot of video from the gopro showing how bad or good it was but I need to edit out our dribble from it when we get home.
There is no way id take a camper the way we went. It may be better early on the season but it was just too punishing on the approach to some of the dunes to be towing something.

Definately not somewhere I'd be taking a camper unless you're into continuous recoveries

We took our Aussie Swag across the Rig Road/Knolls/French/Qaa. Reqiured snatching twice. Both times I reckon a second go would have got over but it was a bit easier and caused less damage to the dunes just to snatch it over.

I can't comment on what it was like but only on what it is like now. When Danny gets a chance to post videos I think you'll get what I mean.

We crossed in July so not too different, but we avoided the French line as much as possible. Too busy, too rough. Just about had the Rig Road to ourselves for 2 days  ;D

Ok yeah, we did the French line and only saw one car in 2 days. Might have had something to do with it being 45 degrees. Averaged 17kph to give an indication on how rough it was
