Sounds like an awesome trip! I’ll check out your video.
I didn’t realise you were yet to do some rocky climbs. I’ll get Ruby Scoo back to offroad (and onroad) fit and then we should meet up for some touring of some choice areas in vic. The Pyrenees are probably the closest to you with the best steep and long climbs.
Everything look ok post trip under the vehicle?

Pyrenees looks nice! Looks like Wooded native forest, not enough of that here in SA to explore.
Todays drama; broke the clutch cable! Was just creeping into the driveway at work this morning when it let go, bunny-hopped into my parking spot and stalled it
Very lucky it was just the very end that came off, under the dash. The cable actually broke just inside the crimped ferrule giving me enough to silver solder a new end on. Lucky it happened at work where I had the facilities to silver solder and not out bush in a couple weeks time 
I'm heading north out to Marree to pick up a pleasure flight over Lake Eyre which is over 8 hours drive. Haven't decided yet but I will probably wind my way back through the Flinders ranges over the week. Don't plan on doing any serious 4WD'ing by myself in a strange surround but will still try to see as much as I can. Pics to follow!

Well done on the repair! Looks neat.
The scenic flight should be good. Best get cracking, I hear Lake Eyre is evaporating quickly! Probably why southern NSW and northern Vic seem to be getting good rain while southern vic isn’t getting its usual amount.
Either way, the whole trip will be an awesome experience! Have a safe trip there and back when the time comes.
