If anything was going to fall of a vehicle, it’d be on those roads….
We managed to escape unscathed and have checked everything from carb nipples to CV bolts since we’ve been back. All good  Cool

This is what we we’re driving on





It was the most feral road I have driven on. 
HARD correlation. 
Got through the day and camped at Wompinni Station, Rufus 

Headed off the next day, to Mildura. 
Almost…….. made it back onto tar when I hear a real metal tearing noise. 

Quickly I thought “that’s the clam shell”
A T3 has the spare wheel at the front. 
I had been bouncing so much, the bolt holds no the shell closed had come out and the shell was scraping along the road. 

As I had lost the bolt, I threw the spare in the back with Stan and cable tied the shell closed. 

The world was good and I was cruising off.
An hour or so later I was thinking……. If the spare had grabbed on a correlation in the road, there isn’t enough room under the car for the wheel to “roll”

That would me I would have………

The kombi god was smiling on me again
That road actually looks better than our driveway, haha! 
But I really do loathe corrugated roads…. That’s where bra company’s should test their support rating.

There is a bridge on the way to Wagga that once had the nickname, ‘Titwobble Bridge.’ Some were disappointed when it was resurfaced.
