Back home

Howdy all,
We got back home on Sat arvo after 8 weeks on the road through some great country. We travelled west across the Anne Beadell to Neale Junction then down to the Neale Breakaways, (Keep it a secret as its fairly unknown and very nice scenery). Back tracked up to Willuna then onto the Heather Highway to pick up the Gunbarell. Parts' of both are very corrugated and some days we only travelled about a 100 k's but was great to be out there. On to Mt Augustus via Meekathara where the vodka cruisers are no longer poofter drinks but Matty Lloyds (true). Mt Augustus is better than Ayres Rock(Yes I'm a typical 4WD driver, overweight, homophobic,not kind to the unemployed etc etc except that I live in the bush). On to Tom Price the back way then Karajini, Wittenoon Gorge which is lovely except its about to be closed due to asbestos, then to the coast at Karatha then down the coast to Perth and home.
Diesel was not as expensive as I thought it might be, dearest was $1.79 although at the Coles discount outlet in Karatha I managed to put in 48 litres in a 45 litre tank that probably wsn't bone dry. No wonder they offer 4cents discount. They weren't the only place like that but it was usually the discount outlets where I think the pumps aren't accurate.
We did 11,500k's and total fuel cost was just under $2,000.
Feeling depressed now I'm home and a bit weary too, so that will do for now.
Cheers
Des
