Overland Garage

Dreaming about one of the greatest trips we've been to whilst down in Australia. Crossing the Simpson Desert in the heat of October, 2019. Starting from Mount Dare in the west, travelling over 1100 parallel sand dunes towards the small settlement of Birdsville in the east. I cannot think of a more harsh yet beautiful journey that I've yet experienced in this world. By then end of it my 90 Series Toyota Prado had come out with deep cuts in the sidewall of its tyres and a lower... control arm bolt that had worked its way loose, requiring trailside repairs before continuing forward with our trek towards Coffs Harbour on Australia's east coast, over 2,100km away. Many things became apparent to me throughout this expedition, but I learned to never forget the importance of vehicle preparation (yet not in the sense of amount of spare parts or equipment). Utilizing downtime in between trips to maintain the vehicles whilst still in the city definitely was preferable over having to perform repairs in the bush from failed components, especially issues that would've been averted from proper maintenance. I found that the vehicle's mechanical reliability was near the top of that list, sharing priorities along with equipment such as a shovel & sufficient amounts of drinking water. Genuinely proper parts and proper equipment, together with some planning. Without those essentials covered I don't believe I would be here today, with the ability share the wealth of knowledge I have learned along the way. Looking forward to the next big trek. Would I return to the Simpson?Absolutely. Who's with me? Comment below on where your adventures have taken you and where you plan to explore in the future.
