Another one of us back at work.

Not long to go now before I leave on the 19th. I had a change of start date and start work on the 24th.

Car registered today, two rear tyres get done Monday and $725 in fuel cards all supplied by my job search provider.
Bed is made up in the back of the car and bike trailer is packed all ready for the trip and just a few last minute items to toss in on Wednesday morning.

I've done this trip a few times on the bike and car but often failed to do the photo thing so going to make up for that with this trip.

3 of us leaving Perth area toward Ballarat on Monday the 17th.

Possibly already gone past your place by the 19th. If not you will recognise us   I think.

Good luck

Regards

I'd only be looking at 800kms a day max and no night driving as the wildlife west of Ceduna (and north Of Kalgoorlie) is not something I want to have an argument with.

I have seen the damage a camel can do and they are so dumb, just stand there either on the side of the road or dead square in the middle.

Met a roo West of Eucla on my last trip back west on the bike, it just stopped in the middle of the road, full daylight, and I actually drove up within a couple of feet of it before it moved off the road.

enjoy the run as much as you can.

Rgds  HOFFY.

Good onya Alan, it'll be nice to meet you.

Good luck with your new position Alan, it must feel great to be employed again after being out of work for such a long period. I haven't worked for the past 6 years, well, paid work that is, but, then again, I'm retired hey!!

Thanks.

I wasn't to fussed either way about working if I really think about it.

Regardless I've all ready spent the next two years wages and I haven't earned yet.........lol

For what it's worth, I'm all but ready to leave in the morning.
Rear tyres done yesterday so they're right a few thousand k's. I checked the front ones this afternoon and they were a little low at 22 psi but then the car hasn't been used since the middle of December last year. Also attached bike trailer to the car but I must be careful as I can't see it if I need to reverse.

It must have been a shock to the fuel system when I put more fuel in but only enough (30 litres) to get to the discount site in Port Augusta. Even the trip computer got reset to zero on all functions which I usually don't worry about.

Are you coming via Perth,

Maybe we can meet up, and some of the gang.

Unable to go via Perth this trip as funds don't allow it. I was given some fuel assistance and I have to use Caltex Starcash cards for fuel and the fuel stops on the map reflect this.

Er!!!

Yup, a tad out of the way, and a bit far for an RTE
