Recent Cameron corner trip with the big guns.
Hi all,
For you domestic VW enthusiasts, please find attached some great pictures of our recent trip to Cameron corner and back.
Places visited where, Mungo National Park, Menindee, Kinchega National Park, Broken Hill.
Bypassed Milparinka, but that’s another story, with laughter I might add.
Tibooburra, Cameron Corner, White Cliffs, Wilcannia. Had a ball at the local in Ivanhoe, Singh departed back to Sydney from White Cliffs, Bob and myself parted in Hay heading East and South.
The white Egg V6 ULP is Singh's, the black Egg Oiler is Bob's R5 TDI and the salt lake grey is my mighty V10.
Both Bob and myself towed camper trailers with the greatest of ease, my average fuel economy was 15.3l/100km, pretty good considering that where possible the average speed was 110 on the black top and even on the dirt, with 3.6 Ton of combined Touareg V10 and trailer loaded with 60 litres of fuel and 140 litres of water and supplies.
I am told from the other 2 members their Touareg's handled everything very well, and fuel use was excellent with no mechanical issues other then a broken rear windscreen on Bob's Oiler. However a roll or 2 of grey duct tape fixed it well enough to keep going to Tibooburra. Bob and his partner did a proper tape up the following day and it was good for the major journey back to Canberra.
I had a wonderful week all-up, spent with very nice people that I met for the first time. Great scenery / views, good tucker, cold beers and fantastic vehicles to drive, towing or not.
The attached photos only represent a few shots made, infact I took 319 short all up that resulted in about 1.26Gb of disk capacity, therefore the attached a 1024x768 and not the crisp Nikon D200 10.2Mp pictures that are approx. 6.5Mb in size.
I would encourage other people to join our next outing, I hope to develop another tag along soon, so keep an eye open here and on Clubtouareg.
Regards
Gerald
