Two off those blokes are her children :lol: It's tourist season up there, we will hit the school holiday coming home along the highway, but tourist season up the cape, she'll link up with some chicks :wink:

That would be an awesome trip indeed. I have seen the DVD snippets on it from the Aus 4x4 action mags.

I guess if I ever do it I will have to find some way to hire an appropriate vehicle as I have no brothers with Toyotas in Aus:-(

Wasn't me brother, me best mate. he usually comes over here every year to do some 4wheeling but I went his way this year. Awesome trip. Three glorious weeks in the bush. Second truck we went with crapped out once we got to the cape, did the return trip solo towing a camper. We did every obstacle towing the camper. Some vehiocles would not even attempt some of the obstacl;es, those aussies are real pussies when it comes to the hard stuff, but then their trucks are not set up for the hard stuff like ours. I wished I could have taken my truck. Pics to follow when I get around to it. My advice to anyone, is do it if you gte the chance. Not much change out of $10K taking the whole family over for a month though.
