@Holden_man - we did the Strz about a week ago. Attacked it from the south all the way up to Innaminka then up to the dig tree. We were stopped a couple of days before departing due to the weather about 30 trucks at Lyndhurst on their way to Moomba.
It's a pretty ordinary drive. Lots of corrugations. Not much to see on route, but the dig tree is worth seeing. You can camp there too if the flies don't bother you.
Thanks for that, maybe it will get a grade before September 
How did you go with tyres, did you take extra for the van and Prado? Any regrets taking the van or it handled everything ok?

Another job completed today. It took a whole 2.89 minutes to complete and that included a couple of standard issue pics
I noticed the door clips that lock the external solid door to the security door where broken and one missing all together. The centre one was doing most of the work along with the half broken top one.
time for a wash?
We just put a new set of BFG A/Ts on the Prado, and only 1 spare for both. I did drop the pressure slightly in the car (38 PSI cold) and van (40 PSI cold), but not enough to give it a belly in the sidewall.Thanks for that, maybe it will get a grade before September

Good to know thanks for that, I will be replacing the Prado's tyres before September. The HT Dunlops have nearly run their race.
@Holden_man There are parts of the Strz that really test the tyres with sharp rocks but they are short sections.

Its a tough life but we just returned from a quick trip to the High Country again visiting an old mine site dating back to the 1860's.

This afternoon I returned from a 1133 km four night trip over on the south coast of NSW staying at the Discovery Park at Pambula Beach. @Moto Moto also joined us with his recently acquired 16.
I went last September school holidays for the same time too and once again we had great weather without the busy xmas crowds. Apart from the wind on the last night with a couple of vans now without there awnings
There must have been at least 30 if not more Expandas there too.
Trip report to follow in the next few days.
