I would have thought that petrol would be on that list of essentials. You don't want to drive 500 km. and run out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blue Streak Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) It's all downhill. Mike No so much downhill, (although We West Aussie's think so if We have to travel East ) But at least it's flat on the Nullabor, so not too hard for SWMBO to push Edited July 30, 2017 by The Blue Streak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatB Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 A bit country specific, but our Australian contributors will understand why this is funny. Whereas, thanks to Barry Mackenzie I think this one may be understood internationally. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be no good using my old triumph trident. That would only do 200k to a tank full at a push a long one at that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeysarefun Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) No so much downhill, (although We West Aussie's think so if We have to travel East ) But at least it's flat on the Nullabor, so not too hard for SWMBO to push (With helpful footnotes for the non fluent Australian speakers...) Not yet being a grey nomad* but having older rellies** who are in the know, and also getting disturbingly close to retirement time and so therefore needing to start planning 'The Trip***, I'm pretty sure that there's some allowance needed for the prevailing wind, ie you need to allow for the westerly wind hampering your trip from east to west and therefore costing you extra in petrol money at certain times of the year or something? I don't know because I just fly everywhere**** Footnotes: ^A retired person, or couple who sell their house and goods to buy a huuuuge motorhome in order to explore this magnificent - but scary because of outback serial killers - land. Their kids hate it because it uses up their inheritance so they can't afford Sydney real estate. ** A shortened version of the word 'Relative" which most of us don't realise so we just say rellies. *** Everyone talks about doing' the trip' (ie: see above about the grey nomad thing). . Its part of lifes natural progression, you look forward to your 18th, then your engagement, getting married, the kids, the kids engagement, the kids leaving home, ,retirement then its 'The trip" . If you are asked about when you are going on the trip but have no valid plan in response then you are weak and un-Australian. **** I really do fly everywhere..ok I did once back in 2013 when I went to Tassie*****. . Have not been anywhere much since then. ***** Cairns.****** ****** Just kidding! Tasmania. Edited July 30, 2017 by monkeysarefun 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatB Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I would have thought that petrol would be on that list of essentials. You don't want to drive 500 km. and run out. Yeah, but the shop in Penong with that sign doesn't sell it. There is a museum of windmills a couple of hundred metres up the road though, so that's all right . And, yes, Nullabor conditions can catch one out re fuel consumption, as I discovered when I was forced to buy the eyewateringly expensive diesel at Balladonia Roadhouse because I'd miscalculated and my jerrycan reserve wasn't going to get me to Norseman. Mind you, if I'd chanced it and therefore been babying the van to stretch the range, i probably wouldn't have got nicked for speeding half an hour later. Oh what an expensive morning that was .
