Trish, Carl what are you actually wanting to do? Broken Hill is some 600 ks from Lake Eyre. If you do decide you want to reach Lake Eyre---Prarie Hotel at Parachilna serve some great road kill meals--take away packs also. Farina Ruins 40ks south Maree is a must $5 per person hot showers,toilets GRASS sites. Lyndhust drive 2 ks up Stezelecki Track visit Talc Alf (outback gentleman) this will take up hour or two.Flights over lake can be taken from Leigh Creek, Marree, William Creek , Coober Pedy current cost $250 per person 1 1/2 hr flight from Marree, William Creek. William Creek flights take in more of the North lake than from Marree.
Halligan Bay on the North lake is approx 70ks from William Creek and is currently very corrugated for last 40 ks.
hope this is what you are looking for
Brian
last phone service at Leigh Creek, plenty of motorist on roads for assisatance . Lyndhurst has the RAA recovery serviceman (flat bed) if you are really worried

Chris, We are on our 2nd Kedron,purchased nearly 2years ago because we wanted a toilet/shower. We are thrilled with our van,as we were the first one. Now it is our home and we hope to keep traveling for many years. Our choice of returning to Kedron was not just the quality of the van,more importantly it was the integrity of the company.They do not say they are perfect but they try hard to put out a trustworthy product that is safe,sturdy and attractive.The Gall family and their staff have been the most helpful company we have ever dealt with. We are proud to tell everyone about our Kedron van.

Rod/Mavis, Lis and I have just been down this road also, with the help from Kimbo we have purchased and joined the HF Radio Club. this will allow us to contact Base stations at set times (skeds)and report in our location,how long we intent being there. If we request our position is flagged and updated on contact. it also allows us to contact other members(565 current) by selcall(own personal number). the best feature is this radio will enable us to direct dial to home/kids(big ones) cost of $1 connection plus $0.50 per minute with 6 minute limit. the added bonus will be the social side of the club .
hope this helps in some way. will await reply's from Tony, Rick, Neil, Roger and Kimbo

Rick when you do get it clean ,use tyre shine in spray can over whole of chassis, when washing next time dirt ect easily removed. Warning be careful when standing on draw bar as it becomes slippery once sprayed.

Chris in response to your question will our t/d do the job with 201kw's and somewhere around 480-500nm of torque the answer is "YES."

We are writing on behalf of Kimbo whose computer has retired permanently. They are in Kakadu at Yellow Waters.They are moving out tomorrow and heading to Shady Camp before going to Darwin. He asks," If in the area look out for him and Ned,they are starved of KOG".

Welcome Bob and Annette,
Our brains are easily emptied on to these pages. We love the caravan life and the sharing that goes with it. Have you planned your first trip yet?

Hello Greg and Judy
Our van is almost the same layout as yours. We love it. The 300mm by the bed is ample as we tend to be in front of the wardrobe getting dressed and it is a little wider there. I am a large girl and have no problem. There is just one thing I would do---have the control for the diesel heater on the wall next to the bed so that it can be turned on to warm the van before getting out of bed--That would be pure luxury!!

Chris & Val,
The car and van look absolutely wonderful. In the shower we did the same as Elle,put another curtain in to cover the toilet and a suction stick on toilet roll holder. Works fine.

Robert & Jane,
The Flinders are lovely to explore and April is a nice time, popular at Easter and school holidays.Favorite is Brachina Gorge. We may be there ourselves and will keep a look out for you in your Kedron.

Rick, they are there to put the plug lead and Anderson charge plug in when the van is disconnected.

Kimbo with the raising of the front 80mm over standard how far do Toyota recommend before you affect your warranty? reason for asking nephew asked and was told he could raise his Prado 25mm front max and 50mm at rear without voiding warranty (2008 VX Prado) When you slot the Riken 21" wheels under it ,it will
really stand out, you may get a better choice of tyre if you go the extra to 24" and 10 "wide rims.
see you in 3 weeks will take orders then

Rosco & Chris, We hope you have a wonderful life on the road. Do not forget to be in touch and call us if you are coming down south. Wow ! Some of you guys have guts to have a life change that dramatic. Damn it ! I am jealous. xx Lis

What a great place ! Photos in our album will tell the story.

:thumbsup: Congratulations A new van is so exciting ! Are you joining in on one of the group gatherings while in Queensland. Look them up in 'Gatherings' just under the pictures at the top of the page then add your name to the list. We would all love for you to join in. We are southerners too (do not make it to many outings) and we thoroughly recommend the company of this wonderful group of Queenslanders. We will be around for 3 of the outings as we are picking up our new van soon. Enjoy the warmth of FNQ. All the best from Brian & Lis.

Roger we use an old plastic drink bottle,with a cheap dish washing brush attached to the port-pot.
very expensive if you use double sided velcro. May raise the cost to $5-00.
cheers Brian

Colin! was that you we missed at Loxton on Monday? Warren Gorge out of Hawker has plenty of camp spots
20ks of dirt road, Kanyarka ruins 15ks south Hawker is interesting(give you a scope of hardships faced)
In Flinders make a base at either Rawnsley Park or Wilpena and do day trips mud maps can be obtained at Rawnsley if staying there . Willow Srings has bush camping with showers,toilets(no power) IF yes IF they have reopened SKYTEK (on willow spring ) spend the $55 and have a magic day of fabulous senery and good 4wd takes approx 6hrs and must be started before 10 am
