Hi nighttrain, i wouldnt have a clue mate. Fuel mainly, i think they did something like 60,000kms over the 2 years. They went from one side of Aus to the other 3 times, and did Tassie twice. They didnt do the top half of WA, but did every other road, track, driveway they could find across the rest of Oz. They have both seen all there is too see in WA, over recent years plus Dad lived all over WA his whole life.They did however do most of the south of WA and the Goldfields, Wheatbelt and Gascoyne. There were some mechanical issues along the way too, (blown gearbox), buggered brakes, spilt hoses, electrical wiring shorts etc. I couldnt really tell ya what else the money went on apart from groceries, entrance fees, ferry fees,
camping fees, fuel, Lotto, Internet and mobile bill, Dads grog and Mums smokes and Ice Coffees. Not really sure how they managed it , but they had a ball doing it so thats all that matters.
As they were looking for a new home along the way they would race from town to town to try and have a look at a place they liked, but in real life they never look the same as the pictures. The first year was very slow, having a good look around and not rushing, but after about 15 months they felt it was time to start looking around for something. They ended up back in Tassie, but are eager to rent house out now and keep moving. I would love to joing them so am doing as much research as i can now to see if its feasible.
