Beaut pics Steve. I particularly like the atmospheric shots, where you've captured something of the sublime nature of country.
It's great to hear you're getting back out into the bush where you belong.

 

[SteveNT]

Beaut pics mate!

Many crocs in this system, water is warm at the moment so we didn't see many.
Such a beautiful place.

Nothing wrong with 80's landcruisers, my dad still has his 81 cruiser he bought in 83,in Sydney, that he drove from Sydney to Kalgoorlie, all the way up the west coast with two kids and a dog that went off her nut every time we went over a cattle grid, the scenic route, during the floods, to Karratha, and on to some horror " Tracks" out to Gove, my mum never let go of the panic bar...back across to Karratha a few years later after exploring every nook and cranny around Gove, and over to Mt Isa for a few more years, and now it's in Mareeba still being used and still in pretty good nick, it's probably in better nick than me lol...

The cruisers got soft after the 80 series. The 1HZ is bulletproof. Some vehicles in Arnhem Land are still going strong on 120k. And down in Mexico I can get one with all the bells and whistles, low kms and they've done no hard yards! And cheap! You dont buy a 4WD in Darwin. They've all been flogged!

 

[wildthings]

Hahaha dad said the same thing when he decided we were going back to Gove, He said the city vehicles don't get flogged as much, so he went all the way to Sydney, test drove it across the Nullarbor back to Kalgoorlie lol, no trouble till Carnarvon where the coil died ...

I agree. I had a few cruisers bj40, fj 45's and now the HDJ78R troopy. Don't tell me missus, but its the love of my life......true heartfelt love..! Spent 2 mths in Cape york this time last year and did over 2000klms in 4wd. the only loose nut I found was on the bash plate that I made and installed! Its actually pretty comfortable too, considering it was stock. Mind you, its not stock anymore!

Glad you are out of the flat and back into the bush. With views like that, you will be back to top shape in no time! Glad we only have Eastern water dragons around my place. I have shared the pool with an Eastern, but would give that northern one wide berth.
