G'day all.
Just found this forum, there must be a forum on just about everything.
I am a 64 year old adventurer thats done a lot of traveling around Aus, I have done the full round trip in:
1, an Ultralight plane,
2, a Kenworth with a 40' frig pan converted to a mobile home.
3 crossed the Simpson in a 2nd ww Ford Jeep with trailer (west to east)
4 a dirt bike and a Harley
5 a forty foot Ketch
Now it's time to do it with a four wheeled land sailer, if there is anyone interested in a project like this I would like to hear from you.
As far as I can work out it would need to have a high ground clearance, around 700, I would also like a small engine like a Honda for crawling around scrub at about 5 kph it would need to carry 40 liters of water and the same in fuel a good size tucker box and tools also spares, tent, and a gas bottle.
Sound a bit hair brained for you yet? I've only started.
Soler panels, a strap on powered air chute (for those little look about's)
So I've done all the recon missions on my own because no one I knew had the guts or the gonads to come with me, but some company on these trips would have been great to share with others, I made it every time and had a good time ever time.
So if you have any ideas on how to build a turnout like this to cross the Simpson with me (mid spring if a fantastic time)
Please reply, that is if your up to the challenge, I will understand if your not as I accept the fact that those under 60 just don't have a sense of adventure.
A mate of mine was about to leave on a trip to the Gulf country a couple of years ago, he waited a bit too long, after surviving the war in Poland in 1944 getting away from the Nazis and making it to Australia worked hard all his life and had a massive heart attack the night he was going to leave.
Get the picture?
