Mainly a tour of the full canopy. Ronny is now on a 2 week desert trip testing the QM.

Ronny is in the QM. He says around 15:20 it is "F[expletive] its awesome". He has already down 100's of kilometers on rough roads by that time. The video is a bit choppy as it is streamed from remote Western Australia.

They have already visited Carnegie Station which the sign says is 353 km away. They are heading towards Warburton (which is 846km ahead) and Giles (1077km ahead). I have been to Warburton and Giles and they are in the middle of nowhere. I traveled the Great Central Road but they are on the Gunbarrel Highway.

Because one of the Len Beadell graders is at Giles I suspect they will stop there. Len Beadell was in charge of the Gunbarrel Road Construction Party that built the Gunbarrel Highway, plus many other remote roads like the Connie Sue Highjway.

Rohny made a big call and said he's going to keep the QM for 5 years so will be great to see how his grenadier goes as the miles stack up. I think he'll call out any failures of that car. If it breaks track side we will see it on his channel.

The Warburton to Warakurna (Giles) section is the “Abandoned” section of the Gunbarrel Highway, where the permit requires (or did 10 years ago) a sat phone and min 3 vehicles, and is a magic bit of track. We had what we call two “magic days” where we didn’t see another vehicle from sun up to sundown on that stretch. Perfect remote touring. I remember dinner under some desert oaks with a dark and stormy (rum and ginger beer) damper followed by lamb shanks and roast vegetables in the camp oven as one of our best overnight stops ever. Need to get out there again soon. Perhaps the Madigan Line next year if I can time it right.

That is really, really remote. My permit did not permit me to leave the road, except at Giles. I was heading back to the east, so no big deal. Giles River Camp Ground is one of the weirdest places I camped at - complete silence at night - no traffic, no birds, no insects just complete 100% silence. I was the only one there. It was really strange, creepy actually.
