Determined to get ‘off the beaten track’ and find some real adventure, the Baile’s set themselves the goal of visiting every state and territory and reaching the extremes of the continent...that’s the north, south, east, west, the exact centre and even the highest point at Mt Kosciuszko.
All while travelling many of Australia’s toughest roads and visiting many spectacular remote destinations.

You need to drop your tyre pressures to around 20-25 psi on those roads. I have travelled those roads in that area twice.
