Title: Important other information for the trip
Post by: McGirr on May 24, 2014, 04:57:04 PM

So people can budget for the trip the places that we need to book at in advance have been done being Seisia and Eliot Falls.

All other places along the way we do not need to book in advance.

Places where you will need to pay for camping are:

Jowlbinna

Archer River

Dulhunty River (free)

Cotterall River (free)

Maytown (free) as we may not be camping in the national park camping area.

Unsure of prices but not expensive.

The jardine ferry, I have not got the new prices as yet but will find out. It was $120 per vehicle return with campers in 2012.

Fuel , at the tip it is expensive, 2012 it was $2.45 per liter for petrol.

Regarding spares, it is up to each person to consider what they may require.

For the Car: oil, brake fluid, gearbox oil, spare belts, tools etc

For the Camper: bearings, grease, u bolts, split pins etc

Naturally you can only carry so much.

I trust this helps.
