Packing up the ute prior to departure in the morning. Opening rains finally arrived. Great timing....

Get used to it - weather is not looking good
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

At least the after party weather's not real bad
A place for everything and everything in it's place, just can't remember where that place is.

It's always warm and dry inside a pub mate

Look forward to reading & seeing pics of the journey West. Have you packed a spare wiring loom and that roof cut for EK Mart?

Still no petrol at Mundrabilla according to one of the Nationals attendees who went through there today- so a stop for fuel at Madura is almost a necessity - just don't make it an overnight stop if you can help it .......

Wiring loom no. Roof cut, yes. Other spares, wire, terminals, tape. Not that I anticipate any issues, touch wood. Woody cruise control close at hand for that.
Thanks Harv.
Coming through Esperance Blacky. After party, then Perth CEVA and fly home.
Far too much very strong beer tonight. Bed spins incoming.

Did I misunderstand the topic? I clicked to see who was being labelled the Westward Ho. Instead I ended up with a picture showing outdoor furniture, overlooking a street.
