Day 19 Esperance to Denmark 530km
Due to the shorter leg today it was a great opportunity to have a sleep-in though the body clock was still working on SA/Daylight savings mode so I still managed to wake up at dark o clock. Had a nice relaxed morning catching up on emails and social media...
Day 18 Ceduna to Esperance 1405km
Up at 430 this morning to get on the road early- there is a good spot about two hours west of Ceduna for taking sunrise pics. No roos on the road which made life easier though top speed was 80kmph.
A little further down the track the highway is just...
My whole intent of this trip was purely for the driving experience - not as much emphasis on nice locations or pictureqe drives - I dont feel that driving down the coastal highways are as challenging on the car as these inland routes. I wanted to put this car to the test with varying road...
Day 17 Broken Hill to Ceduna 887km
Today was a sleep in till 6am - and I must say I slept in the best bed that Ive had in the past couple of weeks. Went to sleep at 1030 and it was still 37 degrees and woke up to a chilly 24 - hadn't seen that in the last few weeks. Driving through Broken Hill...
Day 16 Charlaville to Broken Hill 1071km

Id spent the whole trip rejoicing with...
Day 15 Longreach to Charleville 515km
Was a sleep-in this morning - at 8am the Hotel owner Jane brought out her ruby red stang for some photo shots with the yellow terror.
After the shoot it was a quick breakfast in town in the local bakery then off to the Longreach Aviation museum for a...
Occasionally i get a whiff of cooked insect but nothing too intense- daily removal might be the trick. I was expecting cooked finch when one went under but didnt come out the back lol
All grasshoppers - when i pulled up at motel there was a little collection of hopper- bits on the driveway in front of the car when i came back out - these critters seem to be all legs, wings and goop thats sticks like glue. Each little birdie that got Stanged was converted into a cloud burst...
Day 14 Townsville to Longreach 775km
Well today marks the end of my second week of travelling - after a nice couple of relaxing driving free days it was back on the road at 6am this morning. First leg was to backtrack back to Hughenden via the Flinders highway- nice and uneventful with...
