All while travelling many of Australia’s toughest roads and visiting many spectacular remote destinations.

Steve you deserve a medal for the number of times you set up and pulled down that camper trailer. I bought the dvds when they originally came out, really enjoying watching them again on KZbin. Good job.

A brilliant series. Brings back some magic memories of our Big Lap.

[@tracybrown3057]

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

It's a wonder someone hasn't retrieved that XC Falcon Panelvan by now.
