Packing Begins
The spare parts are tucked away in the side pods along with the tools. The Moke 'trunk' I use for traveling is bolted into place, giving us a dry and secure place for our stuff. Route maps and directions are getting sorted, and all the hotels are booked..so we are now ready to go. As usual, something on the car has to give some problems! The gas sender works until the gas tank is about 2/3 full, then drops to zero, so with not enough time to get one from Australia, we'll have to watch the mileage on the odometer. It should not be an issue though as I have the largest tank of the classic Minis, so as long as their gauges are working, we can gas up at the same time. We do carry a 5l can of gas anyway.

Hi Mike,
I'm Rog's daughter and will be watching your progress from my PC here in the UK. looking like you have covered all angles with your preparations, it's all looking very professional :-)
Have a great time.
Christine (no hat!)
Christine, thanks for following along (hat or no hat!) Hopefully I can get Rog and the other travelers to add some content as well as me. We'll be posting pics along the way as well. Mike
