Cape York Camping Safari Ute offers solutions on recycling and practical design

My man, husband Rod has arrived home from The tip of Cape York. He has been on a 3 week camping safari with his mates. The good old Ford Maverick Ute made it there and back in one piece ( I had absolutely no faith and was planning a trip to the airport) A few mod con's, alterations, interior decoration elements, fine tuning and tweaking all helped to make for a comfortable journey. I can't believe they didn't get pulled over. See their ?genius? alterations below:

Storage Shelf - used to store found objects and stuff: gewing gum, spanners, lighters, pocket knifes anything that wouldn't stay on the dash.

Camping Safari TIP: Take lots of zip ties
