I did a trip from Perth to Melbourne with dad and my dog back in the winter of 973 in dads EJ wagon, i was 13 at the time. we only took the basic spares like hoses/fan belt and a spare tube. we slept in the back and had a hot cooked meal every night at a roadhouse. Its a trip i hold very fondly, from so long ago !

My father had a EH special wagon. I think about it a lot and wish I had kept it. This adventure you two are having is priceless. Great memories. Look forward to seeing my EH adventures

I've been places some 4wds wouldn't get in Valiants, although most of it comes down to skill and experience.

love what you're doing, more of an adventure in something old than a new 4wd towing half a house behind. I have done a quite a few outback trips in my Moke and a VG Valiant wagon. Keep the videos coming, cheers.

Good trip. Curious as to were the other travelers were when you started to cook on the Weber?. That was a lot of meat. Cheers from Adelaide
@summa-daze7 ай бұрын
Yeah it was a lot of food. The meat would have gone off if we didn't cook it. The dog ended up with most of it in the end.
