Trek to Oz 
Thanks guys!
This is really going to be interesting to see how things total up after a trip like this! How about putting in a column that deals with vehicle breakdown and servicing expenses while on the trip? That will give us poor plebs a good idea of how many years to save up for!!
Good luck for the rest of your trip and please keep us all posted on how things are going.
Ok i am also truely sad as i love this section, keep updating it please. Its a bit shocking how much it costs though. Still you will only do it once!
Hey guys we met you in Luang namtha, do you remeber how much it cost to get your car across the mekong form Chiang kong to Laos (Huay xai)???
Hope you are still having a great trip.
Thanks!
Hi Simon,
What a great trip. If you have time could you email me the shipping company/contact details for Bangkok to Fremantle? We’re doing a similar route as you’ve done.
Thanks -Jen

Hi,
Great trip and site.
One piece of info missing, what was you total mileage?
I am interested because I am compiling a cost / mile for overland trips.

Hi guys, found your site browsing for overland trips as considering doing one in a few years time. Your blogs have had us in stitches and were very entertaining. We’d buy the book for sure! You’ve also inspired us to think more seriously about taking the leap and trusting that the Defender will make it. Well done and thanks for all the info. Great site.
