This is my first experience driving across to the West at this time of year, it is a truly beautiful sight, green as far as the eye can see, with the spring flowers starting to show their faces in this mild weather. It is a pleasure to drive in such conditions.
The day was mostly uneventful, we were faced with a feisty head wind, and the car struggled initially with the weight, however we managed to get our fuel consumption under control, considering the dodgy/questionable aerodynamics of the trailer.
We consumed copious amounts of rice crackers, soy crisps and fruit, while singing along to the 101 Driving Songs (well I sang, B occasionally hummed a tune!) and discussing the effects of gout, and other medical issues. Making it to Ceduna in time for a dose of Home and Away, a tasty chicken wrap and a cup of the finest tea, in just under 10 hours.
Over all, a fairly enjoyable day, minus the experience at the concrete crapper (bit yuck!). Looking forward to a restful sleep tonight, ready for another day of excitement tomorrow...
