    Your Longest Day trip in a Series.

    My longest in my S2 SWB ex/army was Mackay to Laura River via Cairns for shopping. 1976 From memory I think itwas about 1700k
    3 Rovers in convoy.

    EDIT
    Distance travelled during one day - midnight to midnight!!

    When I was younger (a lot) I did a trip from Perth, Meeka, up thru Tom Price and back down via Headland. If I remember rightly - I spent most of the time sitting in the back watching things go by (slowily).

    In 1962 I drove my Series 1 from about 100 miles out of Aramac to Sydney non stop - took about 24hours.
    In 1966 I drove (with a codriver) my 2a diesel non stop from about 150 miles East of Finke to Sydney. Took about 48hours from memory. Not sure you call either of them a day trip.

    More recently I drove the 2a from home to Penrith - about 400km, but including over the mountains, done easily in the day. I stopped overnight at Mudgee on the way back, but then I didn't leave Penrith until about 4pm.

    Brisbane to Bedourie via Longreach with a Series III sold to Diamantina Shire Council. Via Longreach to pick up Silvie O'Connor, the Longreach dealer whose sale it officially was.
