Trek to Sth W.A

Apart from the winter fronts which sweep pass Cape Leewin and across the Bight winds should be minimal .

But if you do hit a Cold Front, like I did on my way home about that time of last year, this is the fuel consumption you can expect:

That's 29.9 litres per 100k. 9.45 mpg.

This was into a shocker of a head wind after Border Village and down onto the flats. I ended up stopping before lunch to camp at Jillal Rockhole just a few kays west of Mundrabilla.

But don't let that stop you. You love the SW that time of year.

The westerlies blow for most of the year and they start blowing a tad harder from about the time you intend going that way. Save yer money for the extra fuel.

A good place to have a look for better info is at the Bureau pf Meteorology website www.bom.gov.au

Think of the money he will save on the way home ;)

Unless you are on a tight schedule Andrew, if a headwind gets strong, pull over. Mostly it will have settled down by next morning.
