The ute...

I have attached a pic of the layout of the back of the ute. What you can see is the fridge on the left a blue esky behind this (does not keep ice for 5 days as stated!!), two storage boxes (1 x school, 1 x dry food- pasta etc), tool box, then other tubs with toys and shoes, solar panel in the black bag and a spare tyre in front of the panel. We had a net built into the roof of the canopy also, this has light soft light items like jumpers, swimming goggles, hats, empty water bottles and more recently a number of boab nuts! this works really well. Bags with clothes go on top of the boxes. It all fits nice and snug. After the first foray onto the dirt back in Gregory National Park the back filled up with dust, I mean lots of dust. Nearly as much as outside the car. Anyway I decided to cut out part (most) of the clear window at the front of the tub and now we are not getting any dust in. Not sure what I’ll do if it rains though!!!
