This will be an amazing insight in to the CSR.
I did it in a HJ45 Landcruiser about 1 month before the Powell brothers.
It is very interesting to see the change in the CSR due to the very high level of traffic over the years.
Also the development of reliable water points along the track, back then it was hope you get water at the next well.
The well 23 fuel dump was operating then and was the only source of fuel.
Also at that time there was no commercially available CSR specific maps, you used topo's, wac, and any other source you could find, like people who had been out there before.
In a 4x4 you had the luxury of carrying a RFDS HF radio to keep in contact.
You might see 1 or two other cars out there, typically geo exploration crews.
Now days it is like peak hour traffic in the desert.
