Default Re: New car in the shed

When I bought mine in Brisbane I did a detour around Mount Delaney and continued on, I originally thought to fill up in Mackay but chickened out and filled up in Rocky hoping I'd make it to Cairns to see how well it'd go.

That saw me blow through Mackay and as it were dark I overnighted in Townsville. Not knowing how well it'd go I chickened out and filled up the next morning before heading on to Cairns. Turns out you can get to Cairns from Rocky with a couple of hundred K's spare in the tank.

Loved it, loved it, loved it, but one aspect I didn't realise was being able to travel 1200 odd kays you stay in the car far longer than I'd have liked. My legs were killing me.
