Now that is an adventure! Fantastic photos and thanks for sharing

Amazing adventure you had there, you must smile every time you think about it - even the stressful parts. And you have a good choice of car to do the trip in - I grew up around landcruisers, my dad has always off-roaded in landcruisers (two 80’s and a 200), and I own and love my 100 series. After driving a car on such an adventure you really do get attached to them!

Well done on the write up - a great read!

Thanks for the kind words everyone . I'm in the bush with shotty reception and I'm struggling to reply to comments, but I really do appreciate it.

Awesome stuff!

Geez Pat, you're a world renowned Professor and fishermen
Surely you deserve a sat phone & sat computer
If underlings can take photos of "the coronal" using hubble
You need better equipment

Broomstick thanks for a really interesting read and some truly great photographs. You are a brave man to do that trip in an old Landcruiser and from what you have said not a lot of mechanical ability. Those can be some of the best trips in life though!

Twenty years back I did a work trip along the Gibb River Road including up through Drysdale Station to Kalumburu together with our Kimberly field officer who was a local Aboriginal man. We were in an almost new and very well equipped Troop Carrier. We did a bit better on the barra though but like you mainly caught a lot of catfish and grunter. Our field officer was very good at catching Cherabin (a large freshwater prawn) - excellent to eat so I hope you managed to catch and eat some. It was interesting to note just how many tourists got into trouble and how "off road" caravans and trailers do not handle those roads very well.

Thanks again - Paul

First long post I never got bored reading. I was looking for part 2. I flipped my phone hoping the second page is at the back. Lol.

Nice work!

Definitely the best report ever posted on this, or any other forum...thanks so much for sharing.
Spectacular photography, every photograph could be framed and placed on a wall.

Cheers, Greggo.

Agreed.... they can close off the 2019 Reports Comp now, I think we have a winner

I will chuck in an alternator in the prize pool.

Incredible; the post to end all posts. Mate, you must put this in a book!

Edit: Saw your blog; what a life.
