Our 2017 trip to Exmouth WA Towing our 6mtr Boat Part 2


Part 2

Part 2 of our trip........ continued.

Day three we were up early for our destination being Wudinna a run of 653.4km, with a big fuel pickup at Port Augusta $119.9 with our trusty fuel dockets, as fuel prices only go one way till we hit the West Coast.

20km out off Renmark we turn right onto Route (64) which takes us first to Morgan and on to Burra. I like this section as the road is good and we play spot the fox. We follow R64 to Cystal Brook where we link up with the(A1).We roll into Port Augusta on time as the wind has been behind us all the way from Sydney.

With all tanks full and a lite lunch we roll on, with the wind up our tail yet again. Kimba has a good over night stop up North terrace end of town with gold coin donation and hot showers for $1.

We can recommend Kimba. But fuel jumps 10 cents a Lt. Up the road Wudinna is $1.25 at the Caltex on your left, as you come into the township. We hold up in a cabin for the night and the pub grub is good value. Wudinna has to be one of my favourite stops on this trip, as the Bakery is Devine.

Day 4 and its up early for we have 701km to cover, to reach Eucla.

200km down the road we reach Ceduna where we top up the main tank as from here, we do not stop for fuel again, till Kalgoorlie.

The BP garage on the western end of town is our fuel top up @$1.299 Lt.02/04/2017

Fuel at Nullabore Road house $1.72 for diesel. $1.76 petrol 02/04/2017.

At Boarder Village we do the Fruit Fly inspection thing. Sir I need to do a full inspection of your vehicle. Not a problem mate, we have non of this and non of that. We open the back doors and the look on his face said it all. Your all good to go.biggrinbiggrinbiggrin We were packed to the rafters.

If you need to take on fuel. Eucla is 10km further down the road and 10 cents a Lt cheaper ALWAYS. You work this one out.confuseconfuseconfuseconfuse

Our room at Eucla was to say the lease. STUNK.

To be continued...........................
