WEST OZ H2 is on a distinguished road
Default Road trip across OZ

Flew into Melbourne and picked up the H2...at last... Bought a bit of gear like a 60" jackall, 6 jerry cans, a spare battery, snatchum strap and a few odds and ends in preparation for the trip home to Perth.


H2 was looking great, when I returned to the workshop to load the 4 extra wheels and 2 rims I'd bought the guys had no idea what the Jackall was for.... They don't see a lot of the H2's wheeled here in OZ, matter of fact they reckoned mine was going to be the first!!!

In summary I covered 4125 KM ( 2563 M ) 64.3 Hrs driving time, ave speed 64.15 Kph ( 39.86 Mph ) Pretty quick eh...not. Used 903.7 L ( 238.7 Gal ) which equals 4.56L/Km, 20.5L/100Km ( 10.73 MPG ) H2 only had 2800 Km's ( 1739 M ) on the clock when I picked it up.

The H2 was a pleasure to drive, some days were very long, 15 odd hours behind the wheel in tight bush and no soreness at all. Dust sealing is spot on, as will be seen in some pics. Roof rails aren't really up to the job when carry-ing a load over continuous rough corrugations, matter of fact they kept coming loose and are just about shagged now, will have to fab up something more substantial if I keep them.

All in all I'm over the moon with the H2.
