We are Ready and Raring to Go!
The day before lift-off and we are ready to go. It all came together today with final preparations involving purchasing of supplies, packing up the Chuckwagon and the D-Max Ute and making sure that everything fits in. Due to a fantastic effort on the trailer from The Mechanical Genius and his sidekick the trailer looks like being a fantastic new addition to the team. The support we have received from G & S Chassis and a great group of local Wangaratta businesses including Wangaratta Caravans, Exact Sheetmetal, Lloyd's Trailers, Northeast Fasteners, Wurth Australia, Sign Effects Wangaratta, Batten's Auto Electrical, Premier Panels, Cafe' Martini's, Wangaratta Bearings, Guests 4WD Service Centre, Wangaratta Steel Supplies and Ullrich Aluminium of Albury has menat that we now have equipment that is surely over and above what the requirements of the toughest road in Australia will place on us in the coming days. The plan is to meet tonight for the last supper, then hit the road at 0730 hours to head for our firsts stop, Renmark South Australia.
