    Eddie, Padders, Crim & anyone else interested. Here's the link to their rental costs. Remember though we loose nearly 30c per Aussie $.

    Red road "nothingness" would be way further in than I went. Can't see ya doing that & back in a day. Others here that have done it could answer better.

    Getting shouted over there for my parents 50th wedding anniversary (my old man needs an effing big medal!) think we are at broadbeach looks like it is the next one up - lot of bloody use though we are not there at the same time - would have been good to have a mate for a quick blat round - think red dust might be a day or two inland - whaddya reckon my parents / wife / kids would say if I popped out to get some milk Sunday morning and got back Thursday??

    Sometimes you wish it was easier, but if it was, everyone else would do it, then you remember you don't want to be like everybody else!
