Was a great trip as we went up to Coober Pedy and then to William Ck where we took a flight over Lake Eyre.That was in late July.
Now want ride on the Cooper Ferry but has been too wet.So going to Sydney for the expo instead and will hopefully get up the Cooper next month.
For those interested mine is the green Defender on Mulgo's website.
