[QUOTE="Aries, post: 677996, member: 23389"] Christoph, More than likely the 6000 that you hire will come with a 11' mono and a 14'DD coil, the DD coil while not my favourite is a perfectly acceptable back up coil. Some advice if I may, Stock up all your food and bottled water (take heaps) in Darwin its not uncommon for remote service stations to charge $6-7 for a single 600ml bottle of water, food is the same and can be very expensive outback. Pre Covid I lived/worked in Germany (Leer-Bremerhaven area) and I was shocked how cheap your food was, be prepared to be shocked in the opposite direction. Make sure that you have spare tyres for your vehicle. Take an EPIRB and let someone know where you are heading and for how long you will be there at all time. Telephone reception in Australia doesn't cover everywhere but much greater coverage is had by subscribers to our National carrier TELSTRA don't get any other SIM card like Optus or others. But have fun and I hope that you get heaps of gold. [/QUOTE]
