March round up

We are planning to do a wrap up every month on what has been happening & how we are going.

March Round Up

Left Rockhampton QLD on 6th of March 2014, finished at Cactus beach SA on the 31st of March 2014.

Total kilometers travelled 4949km.

Total diesel bought 946.59L (we bought 115L on the 31st of March & only travelled 50km so I have adjusted that for the fuel economy calculation), total cost $1514.88, cheapest diesel $1.519L at Port Augusta, dearest diesel $164.9L in Rockhampton & goondiwindi . 

Average fuel economy just under 17L/100km.

Camping. Camped 12 days in March. 7 free camp nights, 5 paid.  Total cost $143, average of $11.91 per night. Dearest camp fees Streaky Bay $30 a night. 

Best campsite - Murray River. 

Worst campsite - Mambray creek campground at Mt Remarkable. 

Best experiences - getting started on our holiday! Sealions at Point Labatt. 

Worst experiences - The car fridge dying on the first day, March flies at cactus beach.

Best camp cooked meal - fresh tuna steaks & crunchy salad. 

Best bought meal - fresh local fish & chips at Streaky Bay. 

We are having a great time. I think it has finally sunk in we don't have to go back to work for a while. Yeah. Looking forward to getting to WA hoping to cross the border tomorrow. Missing our family & friends & most importantly our dogs Milly & Robbo heaps, but we are definitely making the most of this opportunity of a lifetime.
