Definitely not for multi-pitches 😂 we both have much more comfortable shoes for long days. Especially important up here in FNQ 😅

It was a bit too exciting for the start of the day 😂 So I haven't been back since but I've been told there are a couple of rap stations not too far before the dodgy traverse. It's concerning how many people miss them

Don't answer, November.

Use soapy water, not a solvent based product. Ask a caulker, they would never use brake cleaner

Thanks Bob. Its hard to say since the track conditions change all the time. Some clearance is necessary in the softer sand and the well worn tracks. I had no problems with a 2" lift on 31" tires.

Oct-Nov which is the start of the wet season. Winter is better conditions but you may find water fill up points are a bit more limited

We are heading up next week for 5 nights..loved your video!@@shaunduncan8747

Defence force issued boots 😟

I was concerned about the same thing. Unfortunately I didn't include this in the video but, as a redundancy I drilled holes through the panel shrouds and thread a stainless steel cable through. The cable was swaged with eyelets and attached to the outside edge of the van roof. If the adhesive ever let go the cable would hold the panel on the roof. I would advise something similar since there have been many horror stories of solar panels flying off.

Thanks for the feedback Mikl. We knew we had gone too far after doing the aptly named death traverse. Decided not to do it again so used the anchor there. I appreciated the jumper whilst we waited for a slower party ahead of us. Still blows me away how cold it can get in summer in the blueys 🥶

That's unfortunate. I feel like there's an element of luck in keeping "on track" since there are dozens of other tracks from people getting lost. We definitely got lost a few times in the eerie forest but if we didn't see any trail markers for a while we traipsed laterally in hope to find a marker to continue onwards. No coordinates, sorry

30amps is sufficient for 240v. If I'm plugged into mains power, it's going to be plugged in overnight. I designed this system to predominantly be charged by 12v (the cars alternator and solar) individually and/or simultaneously. It's designed as an off grid setup so the victron AC charger is a backup

@@shaunduncan8747 got ya, some battery specs say certain amount of amp p/hr,

@@man.i.literally.failed6772 that's right. Having a charger with a lithium profile in necessary

If you read the description of the video it describes exactly that. I threaded a stainless braided cable through the solar panel shrouds and bolting it to the aluminium skirt around the edge of the roof. A great redundancy device. Unfortunately I couldn't include it in the video once it was already uploaded.

North-West isn't far from the ferry. You drive north up the beach (if the tide isn't too high) and eventually the beach is blocked off and theres a track that heads inland. Immediately afterwards there's a track that shoots off to the left next to a helipad, that leads to the campground. I don't remember seeing any signs and we missed the turnoff the first time. Just remember that this spot has no facilities so you'll have to bring your own toilet and shower etc. Have a great time 👍

@@shaunduncan8747 thanks 😊
