I will chip in for a phone, I think its only fair that everyone going on the trip should chip in. I think there is 7 vehicles going so Should only cost about $50 per car.

With regards to tyres, I have 4 brand newies on the car, brand new spare and have 1 month old coopers on the trailer, I have bought one of Wilburs premium puncture repair kits, also going to take a new 15 inch tube, and if I have room will through in another tyre carcass aswell.

Hey wilbur did a quick search and found this mob in brisbane.

Hey bryan, Grunt is all grunted out. has gone upstairs to watch telly. Same tyres as before i believe. After checking everything out, he found some he liked but later found they are not yet available in oz, so stuck with what we have. Have served us well in the past. You probably know what they are quicker than me having to go outside and read them. I know they are black and round...LOL what more do i need to know.

I was thinking maybe a little further down the beach. Closer to the water holes behind us. About a K i spose. Bigger trees to get under and closer to critters. :D
