Ok, this is all locked in for me now.

I am leaving Alice Springs on Friday 1st October and driving to Mt Isa on that day, Saturday 2nd is Mt Isa to Townsville, Would be good to catch Townsville Cobra guys either Saturday arvo/evening (wont be a late one as I reckon I will be a bit second hand after driving the Cobra 2077kls in 2 days on my own), or we can meet early on Sunday 3rd if that suits beter.
I am also catching up with some Chrysler guys some time on Sunday.
I need to leave Townsville at about 2pm so I can drive upto Tully and catch my old golf mates walking off the course before continuing the last 50kls to Innisfail.


Now a question to anyone who has done a big drive with limited space.
I have a sat phone, I have 4 new tyres ordered (fitted before I leave) and I will be joining roadside assistance, I will take a small tool chest with an array of spanners, screwdrivers tools.
Also carry water and engine oil.
Will also have spare radiator hoses and blank off connectors on heater hose.
I honestly will struggle to find room to fit a small multifit tyre and rim but will take one if I can.
I have never had to change a tyre on any of my cars on the side of the road (touch wood) and have done many long long drives around most of Australia.
Is there anything else I should think about taking?

Colin, I will give you a call probably early next week.
