Your
vehicle must be in sound mechanical order, with good tyres. Diesel's tend
to be more reliable - less moving parts. Most of the Outback stations use
Toyota Landcruisers. They have great availability of spare parts. Long-range
tanks are essential. All four-wheel drives on the market are capable of
outback travel, however in some areas, especially where there are river
crossings, high clearance becomes an issue. We are always wary of vehicles
with excessive electronics, as repair in remote areas is often impossible.
Make sure your vehicle is in top mechanical order and recently serviced.
Travelling in a convoy of the same make of vehicle gives you the opportunity
to carry fewer spares, as parts can be interchanged. Have your vehicle thoroughly
serviced prior to departure. Check levels daily. Pay special attention to
your springs. The price of peace is eternal vigilance!
