We left accompanied by a tailwind that really improved our fuel economy (20% less fuel, I’m liking it). This section of the trip can be a bit monotonous, especially as we had overcast skies all the way. We called into Eucla to refuel (and so Bob could check on his missing caravan step – nothing to see here). We did a brief call in to have a look at the Great Australian Bight, but the wind won so there was only time for a quick photo shoot before back into the vehicles and moving on.
We reached our destination at 222k Peg Rest Stop and set up camp among the bush to try and escape the wind. It looks threatening , we may have rain tonight. Certainly no fire as the wind is to blustery especially in this bush setting. Hasn’t stopped the grey gonads next door from lighting their fire. Some people just don’t think.
Another group of morons on the road are those that stop at rest areas, urinate and then just leave their toilet paper strewn around the rest area. Put it in the bin you idiots! Today we came across one area where people have urinated into milk bottles and just dumped them on the side of the rest area. It’s just so moronic its unbelievable. Sadly they wont read this blog (they probably can’t read anyway).
