Very impressive terrain. Looks very inhospitable.

Mongo like!

Super kool. If I was loaded with money, I would get the Wrangler flown there by plane for the week (would that even be possible/legal) and just do some wheeling with the kangaroos!

Great pics! Don't you guys carry water and fuel and fire extinguishers when in the outback?

The front fenders on the Rubi, are those stock? If so are they plastic? If not any idea how much they cost?

Looks like it is all fun to explore. Are there streams with fish in them?

Yes we do carry fire extinguishers and water and fuel usually but we had a base camp, then went on day trips from there. If we are going travelling every day then most of us have camper trailers like below which carry all the extras.

The fenders on the silver Rubi are the normal stock ones, on the black one they are the Bushwacker flares available from Quadratec.

South Australia is the driest state in the driest continent in the world and we are going through a drought at the moment. There are creeks, but they have been dry for years so no fish. It is very inhospitable - but people still run sheep stations out here and have been doing so since not long after the State was settled in 1836.
