The joys of planning
The decision for this trip came about in 2019 with the dates planed for June, July, August 2020. Due to unforeseen circumstances we had to defer to 2021.
20th May 2021
Our first true planning date started with a BBQ, with many interesting conversations.
By the end of this night a list of who was taking what was compiled with a 20 plus minute discussion about water.. In the outback you can never have too much but then some calculations working out how much water would be required, in the end this discussion ended with one party thinking the other party will be carrying excessive water and the other party saying you can never have too much water so each would make their own call on water
