7 Deserts Expedition - April/May 2002

From April 18th through to May 6th 2002, Mick Hill, Tiffany Haselhurst and I (Martin Hill) joined up with Ian Robinson and his crew as part of the 7 Deserts Journey. We acted as Support vehicle through through the Gibson and Great Sandy Deserts crossing over the Canning Sock Route, up to Broome, Derby, Halls Creek, Windjana National Park and Tunnel Creek, Fitzroy Crossing, the Bungle Bungles and back past Karijini National Park. On this trip I asked Tiffany for her hand in marriage so it was pretty special!

It was well past Midnight when we arrived in Kalgoorlie. That's 100 litres of diesel on the roof and we needed every drop later in the trip.
