What is the temperature like at your place at the moment. I don't know whether to pack trackers or shorts. Long Johns for Longreach is the go.

Sorry Megan, been in town since Monday.
FYI - Max & Min temps for last 3 days

I put the new struts in today. New Outback struts and inch lifted Kings. Just got to change a cv joint that I found had a busted boot today, change the plugs, injectors, air filter, oil and filter. Oh yeah, still have to put an axle and wheels on the van. Got a new 110 litre waeco on the way next week to replace the old fridge in the van (thanks Wilbur). Then pack.

I've just got to lift all my heavy crap into the tray, strap it down and pump up the airbags.

I changed the rear caliper pads and adjusted the handbrake shoes on the Liberty. Now i only have another 302 things to do before Friday

Suby Wan Kenobi · Post by **Suby Wan Kenobi** » Wed Aug 01, 2007 12:09 am

Done more stuff today down to 255 things to do.

Outback bloke · Post by **Outback bloke** » Wed Aug 01, 2007 4:38 am

I installed the fridge last night at about 9pm. Axle arrived yesterday so I will be fitting it this arvo. I have got no tackle yet, so that will probably be Thursday night. Do the service on the car Friday arvo.

Then pack to be ready for a 6.30 start on Saturday.

Hehe.the trailers just for grog.I like to travel light;)

Wilbur · Post by **Wilbur** » Wed Aug 01, 2007 4:28 pm

I'd travel light but I'm over it. This time I'm actually making camp for more than one night so that means proper shelter. Along with all the fishing and hunting gear and maybe some stuff for stuart, poor little ute is going to look like a pack mule.
I'm itching to leave. Is it saturday morning yet ?
