Managed to get a spot at Elliot Falls for 1 night "1st July" #29
thought I would take it for that one night just so we can say we stayed there and experienced it!
as confirmed before we have a spot at Coconut Cairns on 25th and Weipa is booked #09 for 7th, 8th July
are there any other areas that I need to book before arrival that you may know of? Lions Den Hotel -- loyalty beach etc.
must say, I was getting excited about the trip I had planned in August and now I am joining all of you 2 months earlier has really got me in a fluster "planning wise" jumping out of my skin is a fair way to explain how I am ATM.. kids think im goin nutters! -- counting down the weeks and mods still to be done! Cant wait..

I suspect loyalty beach might want a booking but the roadhouses are all basically just a big paddock and they can take as many as they like. It's basically first in gets closest to the 'facilities' (and by facilities I mean bar cos the dunnies won't be flash). We do intend to call loyalty beach as well as the roadhouses to confirm though, just need to find time. Hopefully next week.

I have spoken to Loyalty Camp ground as advised in earlier post.
Have told them we are coming and made a booking, just need to confirm a week out, no deposit required.
Lions Den advised no booking necessary.
That's pretty much it.
Other than looking into permits required for national Parks etc and perhaps fishing charters?Dan

No worries, if you see us holler out and well probably stop for a break and say g'day. Haven't really decided yet but we'll probably be on Chanel 16Originally posted by Brains View Post

Hows everyones vehicle prep going?
I am 95% there now, gave the Prado a good run on Sunday and it performed well with new tyres and lift, didnt get to test the winch though.
I am guessing everyone has rated recovery points on their vehicles, front and rear?
Wouldn't want anyone getting into a tricky situation and not being able to help them out.Dan

Not quite 95%, but getting there. Rear drawers and fridge are finished, second spare wheel carrier built, awning lights wired up, gearbox and transfer breathers extended, new bullbar and recovery points on and the winch is bolted up. Next week I'll be finishing the winch, and if all the parts arrive, fitting airbags and solar panels. Still need to organise a water tank/bladder, rear recovery points, maybe a third battery then when I get to Townsville there will be new tyres and a minor service.
Starting to get a little bit excited

Hey Dan, almost there. Still need to take the back seats out and build a false floor to put the drawers on, attach the new awning and figure out some kind of cargo barrier, I booked in to ARB for the breathers as I'm running out of time so I'm just going to pay for them. I'm going camping next weekend to woody head and plan to gave everything ready then. We'll see how I go I guess.Originally posted by DSS150 View Post
I've got points on the front but will just use a recovery hitch on the rear. I assume most of us will be the same.

G'day Dan,
Sorry I couldn't get to cityview last Sunday, I'm almost there too. I'm getting my truck into the mechanics next week, new brakes, service the auto, diffs, all new belts & filters etc, throwing in some tough dogs whilst I'm at it, then about two weeks out I'll put on a new set of mickey thompson mtz's and I'm good to go. All the other requirements are done, minus a winch, can't wait to take some time off work and begin this trip.
Cheers,
Mike.

Wish I could come all the way to the top again. Our trip last year was awesome. I was only watching some videos of the OTT Crossings again last night!Originally posted by Brains View Post
