So a mate and I are planning a round trip from brisbane through to uluru and back home. We've worked this trip to take 3 weeks and will include a few days of desert 4x4-ing. Ive included a link to a google map ive made of the trip, so im seeking some wise input on how to prepare for such a long trip and especially the 4x4 bit and what to take etc.
So far we've got a pretty good route worked out with an idea of what we need to take (extra fuel, food water, a few spares of a few things, all that kind of thing) Our trip aims to accomplish 3 things; visit Lake Eyre, Visit Uluru and touch base in every state/territory in Mainland Australia. I'm just wondering if there are people out there who can provide some insight into a trip of this length/nature. What to expect, what to avoid, places and sights to see along the way. recommended upgrades to the vehicle before the trip. Any and all information is most welcome, as we're kinda going into this blind. Our actual trip will differ from the google maps link below in 2 ways, we'll take a trip from Uluru out to the WA border and stick our toes over, and we'll also be 4x4 driving from Oodnadatta up to Finke via Dalhousie and Mt Dare.
