having a rum or 3 at the mo and doing some planning - thanks to some inspiration from Bucky and Viv...
hows this sounding?
for example I know but here goes...
approx 10,000km
car gets 10lt / 100kim - which i know will be more but keepin it simple!
= 1000lt usage...
ave cost $3 (taking into account of csr....over estimate and it could be a good thing)
= $3000 for fuel....
did i do
well.....
my thinking is going from more than likely
Tamworth - Mt isa -
Halls creek via buchanan hwy etc...-
horizontal waterfall - csr - maybe simpson crossing -
tamworth.....6weeks....
thoughts...???

G'day,
Laura,
did I miss something or after your post seeking advice on a path for your return
home, which you got plenty of suggestions for.....I don't recall a reply on your intentions, or end result.
So?

Hi
Laura,
I don´t know what you really mean but my suggestion for your trip planning is the following:
.... -
Bourke -
Innamincka -
Birdsville -
Boulia - Alice - Tanami Road -
Halls Creek (scenic flight over Bungle Bungle) - Tablelands Track (explore the Diamond
Gorge in a canoe) -
Cape Leveque (scenic flight over the Horizontal Waterfalls) - back to Billiluna and down to
Wiluna - Gunburrel Hwy. or
Great Central Road - Ayers
Rock -
Kings Canyon -
Oodnadatta Track -
Flinders Ranges - back at
home
Yep, indeed that´s a long ride.
Best regards
Helga

Laura
Straight highway driving, you will get good fuel consumption.
Rough dirt roads, it will drop about 10-15 %
Desert driving I work on 1/2- 2/3 ( eg the Simpson in 2005 ) took me 95 lts to get from
Birdsville to
Oodnadatta.
Highway towing ,,, forget it ,,but generally 7.5-8 km/lt
Cheers Mate
Bucky

Laura,
if you paddle far enough and long enough you can save fuel and $$$$'s
