RV FEATURE
It doesn’ t get any more remote than this.
• Always ensure someone is aware of your travel intentions. Make them aware of your itinerary;
• Always carry some form of emergency communications. A satellite phone, Zoleo, Starlink access or an EPIRB are strongly recommended. UHF radios are not suitable for long-distance communications, although they may be useful to summon help from nearby;
• Travel at speeds appropriate to the conditions. Never exceed 80km / h on rough outback roads with deflated tyres;
The big termite mound on the Plenty.
• Avoid driving at night or in extremely wet weather;
• Do not camp near or in waterways, as flash flooding can occur without warning; and
• Do not rely on GPS mapping. Carry sufficient, up-to-date paper maps of the area you intend to travel.
And please remember the golden rule of outback travel: in the event of a breakdown or other emergency event, never leave your vehicle. It is your only shelter from the elements, and it gives you the best chance of being spotted by search and rescue personnel. Even if you think that help is only a short walk down the road, I can almost guarantee you that it’ s not, and that you’ ve grossly underestimated the distance. I’ ve been there, done that and got the tee-shirt to prove it!
