Glad I've taken the day off.

Was wondering why you had so much time on your hands.  Figured it was because you are the boss at work and have everyone else doing the necessaries while you keep abreast with OZSTOC.    :whistle
Nope.

I put in a 11:30 hour day Wed and 8:30 yesterday, because I have Flex time, I have to burn some off.
Cheers,
Gary

A nice road for this venture as far as efficiency goes- minimal loss of time going through country towns, unlike most roads available to us eastern state dwellers.

At this rate, he'll be home by 8pm.  He's passing Pimba now.

He's making it look easy.
Being downhill at this stage would be helping, I guess.    |-i

Looks like he's having dinner in Port Wakefield.  Been there half an hour.

I hope he remembered to grab a docket in Coober Pedy in his rush to get home.    :eek

On the road again. Google maps says only 1:20 from his last position to his home.

Looks like he is easily going to do it all on the same date.

A shoo-in.
It's not a race, but he'll beat his Coffs-Gundagai-Coffs time.
The more open roads would have helped enormously.

Good thing about doing it this way, is he gets to sleep in his own bed tonight.

Well done Pete
