Was telling a friend this and he basically called me a bloody liar as there's no way I could do it for that much apparently.
So I showed him the receipts and did the math...lol
Nearly got the old girl stuck in the Belanglo Forest which made all on board a little nervous 
That fire track into the backpacker memorial is not suitable for anything other than 4x4's as we discovered.
And a heads up to anyone passing through Hay and looking for a nice place to lay down for the night, the Highway Inn Motel just off the main street on the road to West Wyalong was perfect in every way, spacious, modern and affordable. |
Geeze that gas was cheap mate.
I did a similar length trip last Christmas, furthest point from home was esperance and some of the gas prices in the bush were outrageous. In some places I was paying slightly more for 98. Gas was around $1.45 per litre.
It was so high I remember thinking you wouldn't want a dedicated gas setup out here.
It's like they are trying to kill off gas in remote wa by pricing.
