Have finally worked out some figures on Myrtles fuel consumption. Not sure if this is good or bad but seems to be ok. This is as accurate as I'm able to get using my navman I travelled 106.6 ks on a full tank. When I refilled it took 17.89 litres. Going by my estimation I'm using (about) 16 litres per 100ks....

I was very much het up with anticipation as today we were to visit Wombat. Well we got there but I saw neither hide nor hair of a wombat. Didn't even spot any scary holes. What a let down. Oh well the rest of the day went ok. We travelled safely from Wagga Wagga to Gooloogong.
