The Doc has started taking the Grenadier off road in the Queensland Outback around Eromanga – home of Australia’s giant dinosaurs.

One thing he noticed is how quick tyre temps and pressures increased when he hit the corrugations (washboard). Temperature jumps that take an hour to an hour and a half on the road took about 10 minutes on the corrugations.

The car performs well on corrugations, but The Doc has not hit really bad corrugations yet. The Doc visited Pegler’s Pond this morning, which is running low on water. Out here all the water is brown from the suspended silt. Not long after, it started to rain turning the dust into mud.

As The Doc writes, Galahs and Correllas are flying around screeching, enjoying the rain.
