Absolutely spectacular photos of a beautiful country! Thank you!

As an aside, I have a battery-powered Dewalt chain saw that would likely fit in your cargo box. It might help you out on your ride and it's not too heavy. Put it in a plastic bag or similar because it loves to drip bar-oil.

Keep going, stay on your wheels and keep the pictures coming!

Wow, great video. Was really impressed with your (necessary) caution on the roads.

I see that Utes in Australia are like those in New Zealand, the owners can no longer fit all their stuff IN them so they have to put it on specialised racks outside. I always thought one of the "attractions" of a ute was its ability to carry more "stuff". Facepalm emoticon
