I did a lovely summary in Word and was going to copy it to blog, but found it was in gobbledy gook so here I am hard at it getting the job done. Don't know what I did. Don't you hate doing things twice??
Total number of days away - 96
Number of kms - 17000; the odometer seemed to skip backwards at times, (!) so this figure is a sum of daily distances.
Longest distance in one day - 650
Shortest daily distance - 0, several of them!
$ spent - approx 17000, but hard to be exact because of domestic costs (rates, etc)
Number of toilets cleaned - 0
Number of toilet rolls used -less than one; we came home with the same one we left with! Thanks to public loos, cafes and CVParks.
Number of kilos lost - 0
Number of kilos gained - 0 (Phew!)
Most expensive fuel - $2.10 per litre, on Great Central Road.
Cheapest fuel - 99c in NZ
Best things about trip - togetherness, Rita, feral camels and dingoes, seeing Jim, Nat. Parks of NSW, Canberra, Snowy Mountains, seeing the Bo's in NZ, meeting new people and hearing their stories, snow in NZ, solar cars on the Nullarbor, rain on the Nullarbor.
Worst things - too many clothes, books, games, stuff. There are plenty of good, cheap book exchanges; Op Shops have plenty of good cheap clothes for unexpected weather changes.
What we forgot to take - nothing! This time we remembered it all!
Things we didn't use - our inflatable kayaks - it was either too cold and wet, not enough time or there was no water.
General
- not enough time in South Australia, there are so many parts to the state, we need to go back just for SA.
-too much in too little time, hard to travel so far, so fast. too many things not experienced, need to go again!
-now we know so much more about Oz; when we see events on the TV news we can say that we know where that is and what it looks like.
This is the last word So be it, tanks all for your support and positive comments, sorry about no photos. Over and Out.
Love
Po
