13 minutes of mostly boring dash cam clips as we travel through outback Queensland and the NT, including out to Coburg Peninsula in Arnhem Land.

#196 has performed exceptionally well.
A short in the fuel solenoid cut off wire popped a fuse, but as I tell people, "There is ONE wire that makes the Perkins go or stop, and I know where it is :)"
We are due to pick up a trailer and a pile of sandwich panel from Yandina at the end of the week, which could be a challenge with the latest lock down, but as a result of slowing right down (65-75 sometimes 80kph) and we just drove 1,100km from Townsville on the rear tanks which hold 150L. That is 13.6L/100km, so there are compensations.

Nice!

What did you use for a camera?

How often do you repack the hubs? (Those water crossings look to be a bit deep.)

Mostly just a cheap dash cam plus some bits using a Lumix FT20.
Watching hubs, not repacked yet. Max water depth was about 550mm.

7,000km after those water crossings the hubs were starting to get a bit too warm.
Changing the bearings.
The grease was apparently unaffected, but the bearings were showing signs of being hot. Just a few drops of water I reckon?
