Wrap up

Well it was a fantastic trip
Did 7505 klms since leaving home and averaged 18.5ltr per 100 klms seeing as over 4000 klms was on dirt corrugated roads and tracks the damage was not too bad

CAMPER
Rear corners of camper roof has minor cracking
Left hand trailer brakes wiring destroyed
Few new stone chips
1 screw for door holder need replacing 
1 screw found but have yet to find out where it came from
1 shock absorber has developed a small oil leak
Crack in corner of laminate bench top
2 alko prop pads need replacing
Plumbing for external shower to be repaired

FJ
Needs new rear window
Stone chip in front windscreen

All the above I am quite ok with and would have expected worse due to some of the places we dragged the Jayco to. Heard so e horror stories whilst away people having vans destroyed on the roads we went on..
The two Camprites t18,s Dan and Austin hired came of worse with electrical and plumbing issues etc

Well as I said we had a fantastic time, with great company, to Austin, Kate, Dan, Maya, Sophie and Nicky we would travel with you guys again any day we did a couple of big days and the Sophie and Nicky were fantastic travellers. They kept us entertained around the campfire at nights well.
can't wait to start planning the next adventure.

To those that have followed our trip, I hope my little blog has Inspired you to do the trip you dream off. With a bit of planning and traveling companions that are prepared to be flexible you can have just a great a time as we did and see this great country of ours

A final word, we laid Herb (Gayes  Dad)to rest at a majestic spot he would have liked, where he can forever watch the comes and goings in one of natures great locations. I have GPS co-ords if any one ever wants to visit him. He is easy to find and you can be sure he will be there.
