Unbelievable BEAUTY of Australia's OUTBACK: The Great Central Road

[@moikehunt8928]

Another awesome vid, thanks for sharing. loved the ariel footage. Hey, you will be a month of Sundays cleaning all that red dust from your rig.

[@RoaminintheRobbo]

Thanks Moike!! A month of sundays would be awesome, with the way the car and trailer look now I reckon it will be a year of Sundays 🤣🤣 we resided to the fact before starting the trip that they would never be the same and it is safe to say that is already true 🤣🤣

Didnt expect camels to be so invasive in Australia,the things seem to be everywhere.

[@RoaminintheRobbo]

They were everywhere, which was cool too see! Though not good for the land. Your right they are not really an animal that comes to mind when you think of Australia. Thanks for watching mate!

Thanks mate! It is such beautiful countryside to travel through 🧡 thanks for watching!

[@bradleyfryer5563]

I have 200 series also and looking to do outback touring and towing an 1800kg hybrid van. It looks like you are running maxxis all terrains how have you found them and what size are you running thanks.

[@RoaminintheRobbo]

@@bradleyfryer5563 Hey Bradley, Correct, we had the maxxis AT when we did that trip. I was very impressed with them. we took the 200 over some pretty unforgiving ground, corrugations, gravel, rocks, etc, and they never let us down. we never had a blow out due to rocks or road conditions but did manage to get a long tech screw imbedded in one which I just plugged and kept going. The gibb river road chopped them up a bit though. Their performance on the road is pretty good as well. They're not as quiet as HT but not as bad as other Tyres I've used. the size is 285x70x17 (33inch) on standard rims. they fit with no scrubbing but I do have a 2 inch lift. hope this helps. cheers Craig

[@kevinward4714]

Its good to see that you have a stone guard on the rear of the vehicle.I have a few stones hit my windscreen from only camper trailers (caravans seem to be ok from reflecting stones).

What a great trip guys. Great report too. We are planning similar trip and i am stressed about fuel. We have a similar set up although are towing a 15ft Hybrib. Have you calculated fuel usage when off the tar ???

[@RoaminintheRobbo]

Hey there, Hall family. I haven't done the gravel calculation, but our average all up to this point is 20L/100. If i had to geuss, I'd say the gravel was about 22. From memory, the longest stretch between fuel points was about 400kms. If in doubt, jerry Cans are a good fall back plan. Happy planning, you'll love it.

[@RoaminintheRobbo]

Thanks Stephen! This was late March, before they got all the rain there. At that time we didn't find it too bad at all. There was a couple of sections that were quite rough, but overall it was pretty good, we had no troubles towing on it either.

Have they not bitumened your end yet? I believe most of Qld and NT is done

[@RoaminintheRobbo]

No most of the WA side has not been done yet, I believe they plan to have the whole lot done by 2031, I think we saw?? We have just finished the NT/QLD Outback Way and that had alot more bitumen. So maybe they are moving east to west?

[@RoaminintheRobbo]

Completely understand he is not trying to rip anyone off. When you are remote you expect to pay higher prices. We supported the roadhouse by buying store items and merchandise. But unfortunately, with the high cost of fuel all over the country, we do need to try and save where we can. Thanks for watching!

I rode part of the great Central with a group (on a bike with a slipping saddle).

I'm also amazed that you seemed to know almost nothing about Lassiters cave. He did not die there but holed up there when his camels bolted. He died elsewhere and is buried in Alice Springs. Do you do any research on these places?

Remote roadhouses add significantly to traveller comfort and safety. If everyone carried jerry cans of fuel we would have no remote roadhouses. Patronise these roadhouses by buying a bit of fuel to keep them all going.

[@RoaminintheRobbo]

Absolutely agree with you Chris. Even though we chose not to top up our fuel at that particular roadhouse, we still supported them by buying store items and merchandise. Which actually cost more than what it would have if we just topped up with fuel 😁 thanks for watching!
