Just about everything has a weak point that can be improved.
As I like to say, the factory offering is just the starting point.
And beware anything that claims to be "military grade"'
The military are considered expendable after all.

OK I will just call it Outback grade.

No need to find a new cap now, just use the old ones, with a new gasket.

In Australia , outback grade exceeds military grade in any other place

I really like the outback WA, QLD and NT trips, even better when I can say I have traveled that road!

Your exploits are certainly inspirational, and also aspirational.
Until my wife lets me retire I will be watching from the sidelines!

I am side lined at the moment.

However, tomorrow I visit another AWC sanctuary namely Waulinbakh Wildlife Sanctuary. We are looking for myxos, well my mate is, I am just tagging along. I arranged it for him. I have driven to the gate before but we get a guided tour tomorrow.

SLIME MOULDS (Myxomycetes)
A friend, Steve Young, whom I met at the Eromanga Natural History Museum in Outback Queensland on The Excellent Adventure is a guru collecting and photographing micro fossils and myxos. I have began to collect some myxo substrates (eg bark) for him while traveling in dry remote areas. On a trip to Alice Springs I collected samples from the Todd River and AWC’s Newhaven Sanctuary I was visiting.

One of myxos I collected, I nicknamed Todd River Gold. Here is the image taken by Steve Young

You get the long drives and short/long drops. I get the long flights and cramped "rest rooms" as our US brethren so politely yet weirdly say.

Staying at Buladelah, no long drops this time.
