Boy,
You really have red dirt in Australia! Watch out for the wallabies and kangaroos. Looks like a fun adventure. BTW, what is a bulldust hole? Rusty Nelson |

Photos show a number of cars running Aussie canvas water bags. They keep water cool even on the hottest of days. Perfect for a BIG TEXAN 120F summer

It may of helped having a later wishbone, hard to say. Driver lost control after hitting an evil bull-dust hole; he was caught unaware.

The other sort of bulldust is often found here on FordBarn! Many Australians, including some on this forum, find getting out in either type of bulldust to be a satisfying challenge! More Type 1 bulldust experiences with a T-Model here: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-06-1...d-trip/8596272 |

Re: Model As and Ts on do or die Outback tour.
Wow, beautiful pics, thanks!. Looks a lot like Okie red dirt. No roos here, though.

Thanks for that M2M. That’s very familiar scenery.

Those old fords are tough, I wonder how a modern car would fare.

It's no good standing around looking lost son. Those sheep need a hair cut.

Re: Model As and Ts on do or die Outback tour.
Loving these photos, M2M. The camper trailer with the T wheels looks interesting. Are there any more of that?

Re: Model As and Ts on do or die Outback tour.
Great photos, thanks for sharing. Those roads remind me of parts of AL 10 in Macon County, Alabama. THE POTHOLES HAVE POTHOLES...

Re: Model As and Ts on do or die Outback tour.
Well, they were made to be driven. If I were in Oz at the moment, I’d be there in a flash. When’s the next trip, and where?
