Yes I'm pretty sure that was the location

Would you beleive they scored that for use as a stage for live bands!!

Day 19 Esperance to Denmark 530km Due to the shorter leg today it was a great opportunity to have a sleep-in though the body clock was still working on SA/Daylight savings mode so I still managed to wake up at dark o clock. Had a nice relaxed morning catching up on emails and social media...

Day 18 Ceduna to Esperance 1405km Up at 430 this morning to get on the road early- there is a good spot about two hours west of Ceduna for taking sunrise pics. No roos on the road which made life easier though top speed was 80kmph. A little further down the track the highway is just...

My whole intent of this trip was purely for the driving experience - not as much emphasis on nice locations or pictureqe drives - I dont feel that driving down the coastal highways are as challenging on the car as these inland routes. I wanted to put this car to the test with varying road...

Day 17 Broken Hill to Ceduna 887km Today was a sleep in till 6am - and I must say I slept in the best bed that Ive had in the past couple of weeks. Went to sleep at 1030 and it was still 37 degrees and woke up to a chilly 24 - hadn't seen that in the last few weeks. Driving through Broken Hill...

Day 16 Charlaville to Broken Hill 1071km Nice early start ay 615am - my new friend next door appeared as i started up the mustang to hear the car with auto choke going - i apologised beforehand to let them know that it there was going to be some noise lol. Id spent the whole trip rejoicing with...

Day 15 Longreach to Charleville 515km Was a sleep-in this morning - at 8am the Hotel owner Jane brought out her ruby red stang for some photo shots with the yellow terror. After the shoot it was a quick breakfast in town in the local bakery then off to the Longreach Aviation museum for a...

None at all touch wood- it has several coats of Mcguires polymer sealant as well as some coats of wax. its like teflon to dirt and bugs

Occasionally i get a whiff of cooked insect but nothing too intense- daily removal might be the trick. I was expecting cooked finch when one went under but didnt come out the back lol

All grasshoppers - when i pulled up at motel there was a little collection of hopper- bits on the driveway in front of the car when i came back out - these critters seem to be all legs, wings and goop thats sticks like glue. Each little birdie that got Stanged was converted into a cloud burst...

Day 14 Townsville to Longreach 775km Well today marks the end of my second week of travelling - after a nice couple of relaxing driving free days it was back on the road at 6am this morning. First leg was to backtrack back to Hughenden via the Flinders highway- nice and uneventful with...

To be honest the amount of oil captured is bugger all - I had a couple of mills after 5000km

My drive out to stocklands was mustang spotto morning- spotted race orange at lights and a grey GT in the carpark!!!!

Wow I hadnt realised this thread was getting outside interest - though i did mention it on Ford AU FB page . Got to admit I'm a fan of the top end, if Ford are willing to loan me an RS Id do another different roadtrip:headbang: Thanks for the kind words - back on the road tomorrow.

DAY 12 Around Townsville This will be my home for the next couple of nights to recharge before I start the trek towards Longreach and to the South East. First point of order of the day was to find a car wash so the pony could have a decent clean down and vacuum. Bit of a soak and nearly all...

Day 11 MT Isa to Townsville 904km Left Mt Isa after a decent breakfast cooked at my accommodation - pretty much a FIFO accommodation setup with decent rooms at a good price. The first 100 or so kilometers is a nice winding road with great views of the surrounding hills, though getting caught...

Mate im averaging 8.7 - 9.9 depending on speed and winds. At 140kmph with headwind it was up to 10.0. Today cruising at 110kmph I was averaging 8.7

Only bit that might be crazy is the non spare tyre but Im very pedantic with tyre pressures and care - otherwise this car is perfect for pushing out long distances. Wear and tear on the exterior has been negligble - puting on a protective coating has helped no end. Ive done alot of this type...
