G'day lonewolf that garage is actually closed down and fenced off Their prices must have been a bit high. The last fuel we got was $1.47.9 for Diesel was about 4cents cheaper than it was in Vic. Yes hate to see how much it is along the Nullarbor. We will find out soon hey!!

Thanks Dave will do...

Yes Ash we will try our best...

Cheers.

Mike.

I sure wish you the best of luck with fuel prices and the yellow stuff as well, maY ALL GO SAFE AND YOU RETURN as well.cant have you stayin over there gettin all the yellow stuff. leave a bit for us.

G'day LONE WOLF
Yep ....sure can't let me get all the yellow stuff, .... so are you coming over as well?
Fuel prices, will have to wait and see what the cost is through the Nullarbor.
Have two jerry cans full of fuel, will use them if its to costly.

Cheers.

Mike.

Have a safe trip, Mike! Good luck with your gold hunt in WA. Will be over that way about June/July myself for a look around and some detecting.


Annie

G'day AnnieL thanks and same to you have a safe trip. We will still be over there until September/October sometime. Maybe even run into you somewhere out there.

Cheers.

Mike.

Good luck Mike, have a safe trip. cheers Pete.

A safe trip Mike and hopefully plenty of gold.

Cheers

I'm glad you got away safely and that you both have a good trip over there. If you can keep us informed of the fuel cost while your there mate that would be great for others heading over a little later. With the price of gold dropping right now, you will have to find about 8 to 10oz's just to cover the fuel cost there and back Cheers and have fun.

IB

Thanks IB for that info on fuel prices in Leo.

Thanks all for your well wishes too.


Cheers.

Mike.

My regular diesel in hay is 1.50. So irrelevant.

Hey guys, have a wonderful trip ... I am SOOOooo envious!!!

Think you are going to get an awful shock when you hit the WA/SA border (Border Village) Fuel is VERY expensive! Try to load up as many jerry cans as you can possibly carry!!!

Good Luck with your trip & hope you find BAGS of the yellow!!!

On my trip to W.A last year was stung for 1.90 a litre at the Border Village.

Next time jerry cans.

Goodluck Mike hope you get plenty of the yella stuff!


Cheers 1GG

good luck mate,find a heap : are you doing a cost exercise on the trip?out goings for finds?would be interesting,but no one can put a price on adventure! and fun hey bud.

Thanks all for the well wishes and replies. Yes about the fuel prices the Nullarbor roadhouse was $1.95.9/lt for diesel, ULP $1.95.9 and LPG $1.26.6 ouch!!! We are only about 20kms from WA now.

Cheers.

Mike and the Crew.

Safe travel and good luck on the gold Mike. Dam I'm envious, can't get away for another couple of months.

G'day all yes it is all for the adventure and any gold is a bonus. We had a few patchy showers today been around 26'c for the 3 days and the nights get down to about 13'c. We had a bit of a head wind today, but not to bad. Thanks again for the replies and well wishes. Probably have no service for the next day or so, but will log on when we do.

Cheers.

Mike and the Crew.

All the best out west Mike,hope you bring back heaps of nuggets and have a great time, have a safe trip and all the best.

G'Day mike if you read this before you fill up at norsman check out the servo around the corner. turn left at norsman at the t intersection instead of right to kal down a few hundred mts is another servo on the right they are normally cheeper we found them 15cents a lt cheeper last trip than the one on the corner. cheers lonewolf.

G'day All well we hit Norseman today around lunch time we drove around the corner to check the other Garages. Alas they were all the same price today at $1.53.4/lt for diesel. Which is pretty good compared to the last lot of places we stopped at. Took a couple of pics yesterday of The Great Bight. Sorry about my finger over the last one.







This pic we took today in a rest stop.



Just found some better pics of The Great Aussie Bight.









Cheers.

Mike and The Crew.

G'Day mike good to see you made it across. great pic that bight can be a funny place great weather one moment rain or thick fog a hr later, like the smiley on the tree you never no what you are going to see at some of the rest stops. wa got love it we can't wait to get over there. good to see fuel prices are reasonable at norsman. cheers lonewolf.

Better off to fill up at Ceduna and carry enough fuel to get you to Norseman. I carried 100 litres which got me accross.
