Newbie went outback solo sorta
(Preview)
I've just got back from my 1st solo trip outback (20days 3700kms). I ended up only going as far as Alice and I didn't end up doing the Oodnadatta Track, which was just as well because the weather suddenly got wet and wild and I would probably still be stuck at William Creek. I got a motel room at Spuds Roadh...

Good Lord! I Found You.

Looks like I might have found the Mother Lode, here. I'm 72 and all I have is an old dog, an old land cruiser and an 18' caravan. I do a good impersonation of Clink in Hogan's Hero's. I know NOTHING about caravans or the nuances of towing them. I also believe in safety in numbers when travelling. Hoping for y...

Having now stopped for a while, it finally hit me that I don't really know what I'm doing. Am I traveling for the sake of it or am I basi...

I saw a comment elsewhere about a newbie mistake of taking "too much food". As a newbie, this has been bugging me as I can't see it, particularly solo which means that I'm carrying (ballpark) 150kg less mass in tow vehicle/caravan than if there were two of us. For me, making a meal is part of my (new) lifes...
