Think I was too...saw a guy do the dance of the flaming R-soles on the roof of the pub. Went to Brophy's tent, endured a dust storm and slept under the wing of a Cherokee six...might have been '98 or '97 not sure. Too lazy to fish out the log book.
Hired an HD video camera and filmed the entire trip from Perth.
A hoot with three other mates, one of which got his licence the day before departure - only by taking a cake to the CASA crew at Jandakot.
