Darwin Survivor outback trip 2008
Well we needed to tie up a few loose ends so what better than to find a local water hole and sit down over a few quite ones to discuss the plans :o)

Our transport for the next 9 days....2 4x4 troupe carriers to be named vt1 & vt2....how appropriate haha ;o)
Amazing how nice and clean they look....but not for long :o)

Shopping & transport organised, then came the lovely job of packing...back at Zig's place.

The others arrived and we finished packing both troupees.

It was at this stage that we decided that since there were 2 troupees & 12 people, that we would split up into 6 in each troupee.....smart little critters arn't we lol ;o)

Zig pulled out this huge map that was to be referred to a few times in the trip and we were going to map our journey as we went along. Great idea Zig!!

Zig also thought that we needed croc insurance.....however we later heard of his alterior plan.....

You see he'd written up all the proceeds to go directly to him should we....ehem!....should a big croc decide we looked like a good meal prospect! ....mmmmm, nice one Zig!!

 Yep. I just wish more folk would heed the croc warnings and not blame the crocodiles when they get eaten!
