As you are all aware, our plan for for our gap year got a bit turned on its head in January. Chris and I have changed tack, and are now going to go camping around Australia for three or four months.
It's been nearly two decades since I've done serious camping like this, so it's going to be quite the adventure. How does a 42 year old body go sleeping on the ground for weeks at a time? How am I going to go with very limited cooking facilities?
I thought a blog would be the best way to keep everyone informed of our adventures. I'll be able to include lots of photos, which you can't do on email. Not everyone has Instagram either, so this seems the best solution.
Chris has been very busy getting his Jimny up to scratch for our trip. Improvements include:
- A long range petrol tank
- New 4WD tyres (plus two extras!)
- A winch
- A full service
- Diff breathers for water crossings
- A new windscreen (Jimny windscreens are notorious for getting chips and cracks easily, and ours was no exception!)
- Recovery tracks
- A double swag
- A shower cubicle that hangs off the side of the car
- Tubs for food and clothes
- A hammock
- Gas stove
- Fire pit for extra cooking room
- A fridge (our old one was busted unfortunately)
- And much more!
