WICEN Vic: Pajero Challenge 2015

[Bruce Bathols Gmail]

Hi Dirk and co

I will be available, have a RAV4 and although it is AWD it is low profile, so no steep rocks to climb  or lakes to squish in thanks.
Will be towing a CUB flip top camper, fully optioned, and my XYL Annie will also come along.
We will arrive on Friday and camp at our allocated checkpoint.
No problem in us bush camping for a cuppla nights.
I have plenty of battery power, 85w solar panels for charging, HF - UHF radios.

Cheers
