My Outback in Outback Australia.

[OutbackBen]

I recently headed off on a brilliant trip in my Outback covering some brilliant and challenging parts of Outback Australia.
The car performed extremly well and I was also very impressed with the new TDI Outback that "troyXT" took along for the trip.
We covered almost 8000kms in 2 weeks and the subi's didnt miss a beat!


I hope you enjoy the trip report of photos below.

Looks & sounds like you guys had a fantastic trip.

Did you climb Ayes Rock?

I think Ayres Rock is now off limits in regards to climbing it unfortunately. :sad: But I stand to be corrected though

I heard they might be stopping people climbing Ayers Rock. The second time I went to The Olgas they had already stopped that.

I remember climbing Ayres Rock as a teenager some 20+ years ago. It's something that I'll never forget.
The view from the top of it was amazing. :ebiggrin:

Great photos Ben, yeah was a fantastic trip, I will add some more when I get a chance.

We didn't get to climb Ayres Rock due to the winds. It was unplesant at ground level so would not have been nice up top.
