Hey guys,
Welcome back to another video. This week we hit the Plenty highway. An 800km stretch of road from Boulia in Queensland to Alice Springs. But we have major issues before we start!

It'd be a good idea to show a map of where you are travelling to, before each episode.

People generally don't do that anymore because of serial killers like Ivan Millat who preyed on travellers in the lonely desert outback. He was convicted of only a couple murders but rumours have it he killed hundreds of people. And yes, they really do have serial killers in Australia, surprisingly enough.

Looks busy the highway and the campgrounds. We drove the plenty last spring and at the border-checkpoint the officer told us that he has 2-4 cars a day passing through and the only other “campers” we saw were two Telstra-workers.

Unfortunately it would be about a $4000 job once you factor in freight and labour. There is a bit to it no parts are a bit thin on the ground

Fuel Doctor works best if you put it in before filling up, use speedo to calculate ie 250 km is 250 mm at 10 litre per100 adjust for your litre usage 😀

Hey guys, love your Central Australia trips!!! A couple of questions if I could. How long did it take? Was the Plenty a nice drive and worth it (Boulia to Alice), given there were plenty of corrugations and the possibility of damage to our 4WDs? Our Plan B is on the black stuff heading further north via Mt Isa which would be more kms but possibly a shorter trip. Love your thoughts! Thanks Bob
