It is made from truck vinyl and shadecloth, in a very simple wind up/down design.
This is how it looks when it is out:

And this is the view from inside!

Great truck, great trip and a sensational view!!! I am insanely jealous :-)
Broome weather looks great. Enjoy. Are you going up the grr?
Well, we are on our way to Cape Leveque, so the beach near Broome is just a stop over for a couple of nights.Quote:

Have just come inside from a fabulous sunset with a Gin & Tonic sitting in the sandhills. Much MUCH better than my usual working Wednesday :D
Hey Spudboy.
we are a couple of days behind you at Fitzroy Crossing, no dramas on the Tanami, we will spend a few weeks in Broome before the GRR so might miss you this time !!

Give me a shout when you do.. Have pics of how it used to be done on the Africa trucks, and have a web page for an airbag design.. Not convinced with either, and will prob just have two doors linking ours like on trains. Does away with the movement/leakage issues.. Dad looked at a Powershift V8 Merc in the UK yesterday.. The right money at $15000 too!! :)Quote:

The Gibb River Road was great. No dramas with the MAN and heaps of excellent places to visit.
We did the 'usual' GRR destinations: Winjana Gorge; Tunnel Creek; Bells; Ellendale; Home Valley; El Questro (Zebidee Springs/Emma Gorge/etc).
Best gorges were El Questro Gorge and Bell Gorge. El Questro was woefully organised. Took us nearly an hour to check in. Front desk staff hopeless, so that 'soured' things a bit, but the location is stunning.
Before GRR we did 4 days up at Cape Leveque, and that was stunning. Beach-front camping. We even caught 3 good sized fish from off the beach!
Hope you're going well. We are heading back south ATM to go and see the Finke Desert Race, starting at Alice Springs tomorrow.
HEAPS of caravans and grey nomads heading north, so it's going to be seriously busy up there soon.
Cheers
David
