We're back from the outback !!

Postby Big Red on Fri Jul 28, 2006 9:48 pm

Wow, what a great trip ... had a ball.
between the four of us we took over 6000 shots !!
My contribution was 2136 shots.
we did somewhere around 6500kms, spent $1930.00 on diesel for my patrol and used 1236.45 litres
great scenery, great trip and great mates 8)

Yup it was a top trip and we will be very careful not to saturate this forum with images from the desert. We did not have the best of weather for photography, many cloudy days, but we do have some great shots between us.

We also had plenty of good laughs and saw some stunning places.
