Super news there Dave!

My son still talks about how cold it was the night we camped at Wilpena Pound, back on that first trip. Good luck everyone, a great experience awaits.

A week from now, we are all meeting up in Broken Hill. Before then, I wanted to make sure everyone knows how they are getting there.

I know John and Di have a plan, as do Wayne and Julie, and I think some others are tagging along with them.

I'm meeting Greg, Sean and Daf at Cobar Caravan Park on Saturday evening, pretty sure Kev will meet us there too. Dinner at the bowling club!

SteveT is meeting me on the way out of Sydney on Saturday morning. Possibly Lithgow or Mudgee.

Anyone else wanting to tag along, we can chat on Wednesday...

If we don't all catch up on Wednesday, drive safe!



And watch out for the goats around Cobar as well, especially near dawn and dusk!!

We will all meet in Broken Hill, and all the addresses and my contacts are in the Itinerary etc.

All the best,
Dave

We have been pushing the wire trying to get ready in time. Fortunately Frank and Jonathon at ATV Automotive have pulled out all stops - really impressed with their knowledge, detail, care and ability to rebuild around some old and entrenched issues in the JK.

It was a close run thing, but we are ready to rock and roll! Bring on the Simpson.

Awesome guys! A working vehicle and a pantry for 4! Bring on Saturday

Yep, mine is with Frank and Jonathon at ATV this week. Ball joints and new track bar required to fix wobbles. Just as well we went on that shakedown trip last week! I wasn't shaking down for Simpson but rather for the Training weekend on 14 July in Wagga. The jeep hadn't been used for a while, so just as well I went along otherwise I wouldn't have uncovered how serious the wobbles actually were.
A bit disappointed that the Synergy ball joints are less than two years old and covered less than 10k km.
