I have literally thousands of photos from this trip. If any one wants more of a particular vehicle, let me know.
This is day 1, trip along the Border Track - Dog Fence.
This must be one of the best sand tracks to be found in Victoria/South Australia. It follows the border from near Pinnaroo right down to near the Melbourne - Adelaide hwy.
This track has very large sand hills to get over. Most of these hills have tracks to get around them if you are not able to get over them. Some of these hills are so extreme there's no way anyone will get over them, so this track can very easily be classed as a 'Difficult' track.
Very Important. Check with the SA National Parks and Reserves for information on when the track is closed, and what direction you need to go in.
The track is about 107km. Allow a full day to make this trip. For a more enjoyable weekend, take your time and camp anywhere along the track. Stop in or camp at Red Bluff - scenic red sandstone hill.
(This is where we stopped). Dress warm though as it gets hot in the day, freezing at night.
Make sure you pack all your recovery gear, and travel in a group with other 4wd's. (We had to recover 2 vehicles).
Check the depths of the mud holes. Some for us were over 1 meter deep. Watch out for the holes towards the end, they are really deep!
Momentum is your friend on the sand dunes. We used 15psi tyre pressures. (Try the sand dunes 3x, if you fail, take the chicken path)
We ended up getting lost around the supposed turnoff to red bluff, that according to the maps was "well signposted".
We ended up with broken eggs and bottles.
This is mostly a sandy track with dunes and provides you with a remote location for testing self and equipment without travelling deeper into the outback.
The environment is typical Victorian desert – Mallee country. Expect some scratching from Mallee scrub particularly in the Wyperfeld section and some parts of the Northern Border Track may be overgrown. Soft sand is to be found on the tracks as well as corrugations and hard gravel.
The border track is steeped in history largely due to the dispute which arose from the original survey completed between 1847 and 1850. The result is that the border is actually sighted some 3kms too far West. A fascinating account of this can be obtained from John Deckert at Westprint Heritage Maps if you manage to visit whilst in Nhill.
There is an abundance of wildlife to enjoy whilst undertaking this trip, so watch out for Emu and Kangaroo. Aboriginal rock holes can be found close to the junction with South Bore Track.
We were lucky to reach the top speed of 40 kms/hr.
This photo was taken with a Canon EOS 350D, IR, Nifty 50 prime lens.

Il Wahga Border è il confine Pakistan/India dove ogni sera durante l'ammaina bandiera che si tiene nella zona franca tra due cancelli, i due stati in continua lotta, si sfidano e danno spettacolo con quella che ormai è diventata una parata con tifosi, animatori e guardie scelte. I soldati chr portano barba o baffi hanno un aumento sul salario mensile per il mantenimanto della stessa. In questo set, ho cercato di creare un percorso, iniziando dalla strada per arrivare a Wahga, passando per gli animatori, i canti (Lunga vita al Pakistan PAKISTAN ZINDABA +o-), fino ad arrivare al momento in cui le bandiere si incrociano.
Forgot to post shots of the Borders I spent the most time at in recent years--so many visits to this cafe...had my last Cocoa Trio here the day bankruptcy was announced (cafe closed/liquidation started 2 days later)
Former 'On the Border' Mexican restaurant in the Temecula Promenade parking lot, this restaurant has been closed for a while, I can't remember exactly when it closed but it's been a while... as you can see! This is the old 'On the Border' sign, as you can see it's gone!

On September 9, 2010, Congresswoman Giffords met with National Guard troops who have volunteered to patrol the Arizona-Mexico border.
Giffords, who long has called for the deployment of Guard troops to Arizona, visited with soldiers training in Tucson and then saw them fulfill their mission on the border in Nogales. She was the first elected official from Arizona to meet with the newly deployed troops.
During her visit, she met with the assistant adjutant general-air of the Arizona National Guard and several hundred Guardsmen who are being trained at a Tucson facility for their border security mission, which is named Operation Copper Cactus.

Because the Sabal Palm Sanctuary is located on the US/Mexico border between the Rio Gande and the levee, agents of the US Border Patrol regularly pass by on the top of the levee to keep an eye out for illegal immigrants who might attempt to enter the US by crossing the river.

CEA Assist in Cross Border Transportation
CEA were recently contracted by a Laos transport company to assist in the transportation of several transformers which are to be used for the Nam Ngiep 1 Hydropower Project in Laos.
The hydropower project when complete will produce 290 MW of which more than 90% will be exported to neighboring Thailand. Expected cost of the project is 900 Million USD.
The plant will consist of a main storage dam 148m in height with a 67 km2 reservoir.
The location will be based on the Nam Ngiep River in the central provinces of Bolikhamsai and Xaisomboun, situated 40 km upstream from a confluence of the Mekong River.
Construction Timeline: August 2014 to 2017/2018
CEA supplied prime movers and trailers including one of their multi-axle hydraulic Kamag25 trailers.
The trucks collected the cargo from Laem Chabang Port and made the 1260 km journey across the border deep into Laos to the construction site. CEA will provide support for the next 10 weeks.
This is the bridge that we took to go over to Brazil, which is on the left side of the shot.
If you look at the bridge you'll see that the right half of it is green and yellow - the national colors of Brazil. The left half of the bridge is blue and white for Argentina.
