Australia Trip

[leeds]

Whilst I have been putting various threads on here about trip around Australia. There is one thread on the UK clubsite which has all the gory details on.

If anyone is interested in my meandering rambles the web site is Forum : Yorkshire Off Road Club, Land Rover and off road club (http://www.yorkshireoffroadclub.net/forum/viewtopic.php't=404&start=0)

Derek, got to pencil that into the Calendar! Brendan's based in West Yorkshire, whilst I on the other hand are in the best bit - East Yorkshire:D:D

On a serious note Yorkshire is one of the biggest UK counties and is a great place to visit. Im sure between Brendan and I we could gather a few folk to show you some good off-road type stuff...UK style.

Thanks Jon, at this stage I think we will be seeing more of you lot out here though the way the Australian Dollar seems to want to go.

Just read your travel log Brendan. Fantastic effort and I hope you continue to enjoy your trip out here.

Which direction are you heading with Jon?

Glad you like the thread on the Yorkshire Off Road Club site.

At moment I am enjoying the R & R in Singapore.

Have been able to check things like currency rates. When I started this trip the $Aus was 2.1 to the UK £ Now it is 2.5 $Aus to the £ so it is good for Jon

Against the Sing dollar the £ has gone the wrong way. In May it was 2.8 Sing $ to UK £. Now 2.33 so everything in Singapore costs me 20% more

From Darwin we will be heading south towards Alice Springs, probably going via Litchfield Park then Tamari track.

Any advice on what to do/see/route between Darwin and Alice appreciated.

I have a photo of that river crossing near Wyndham with one of Gascoyne Traders White Road Boss triple road trains on it with a bit deeper water going over.

Gday Brendan,

Awesome awesome trip and thread.
Hope you're enjoying the rest.
Cheers

Great writeup!!! Looks like it was lots of fun!

Looking at a lot of those pics brings back fond memories!

Whilst having a weeks R & R in Singapore have had time to catch up with exchange rates.

Bad news is that the UK £ has fallen from 2.8 Singapore $ to 2.4 Singapore $. So everything in Singapore costs me sbout 15% more :(

However the UK £ has risen from 2.1 Aus $ to 2.4 Aus $. So costs in Australia has gone down 15% for me! :D
