By the time we reached the outskirts of Perth, we knew that we did not have the time to do justice to that corner, the south west. So, instead, placed it in the to do box, for another trip, another time. Having travelled some 17,000 kilometres and looking at the image above, it's easy to see how much there is left.
Apart from south west West Australia and the west coast, there's a huge chunk of Queensland and New South Wales left to explore. Then there's South Australia's peninsulas, Yorke, Eyre and Fleurieu and the whole of Tasmania. Plenty enough for several trips!
Some statistics for the trip:
Distance travelled in the Patrol—17,270 kilometres
Fuel purchases—————————3076.76 litres
Total cost of fuel————————5303.56 dollars
Average cost of diesel————— 1.73 dollars
Average fuel consumption——––17.83 litres per 100kms
We spent 87 nights in caravan parks at just over 3,000 dollars, 14 of those when the van was left at Katherine on a powered site because we weren't brave enough to park it off site with the fridge on gas!
To follow our journey from the beginning, start at the bottom of the monthly column on the top right and work upwards, June to December or dive in any month along the way and enjoy.
