Hi Nomads! Has anyone had a good look at one of these VW Amarok utes? I'm thinking that they are not gutsy enough to tow a big caravan? They are cheap though! Woodylad

(Preview)

It's a much easier route if you want to come to the eastern side of the range, without using the Pacific Hwy etc. There's also the Esk-Hampton Road, but I haven't been that way for along time, and not with the van, so I ca...
