City Grasshopper much to learn...
Rough road/washboard corrugations = shaking car to poop. EASY possibility of dislodged fuel lines, shaking debris into fuel system etc, not to mention possible punctures of tank and fuel lines by sticks, rocks etc.
45 min each way = 90 min return... in a BIG Falcon, that's enough fuel (BTW, is that a converted hearse?) I drove a similar vintage Falcon across Australia - I carried fuel, 3 spare tyres...(plus a rifle, pistol, flares, knives, air compressor, LOTS of water, oil and fuel).
Don't underestimate the Outback or it will turn around and bite you on the bum!
