Advice on UK to OZ
Hello,
I was wondering if anybody could help. A group of us are in the early stage of planning an overland trip from the UK to OZ in two 4x4s. We are completely new to this kind of travelling, so have no idea where to start. It would be great to get some pointers on certain things:
1. what would the basic but necessary adaptions to a 4x4 be in order to survive such trip, such as breather, undercarriage protection, bull bars, suspension, general security, etc? And what costs should we roughly anticipate?
2. What maps would you recommend for the Stan-countries, Mongolia, China and India?
3. Can anybody tell us about their experience of driving in China? How difficult was it to get the necessary permissions, licences, etc? What costs should we anticipate?
4. How should we get our cars to Australia? Via Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore?
I can't think of anything else at the moment but this is only going to be a starting point. We know there is weeks and months of research ahead of us but I guess we need to establish whether or not the whole thing is feasible.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
