A wonderful 4months and 14,247kms(125km/day)

104 Free and wild camps, 3 paid camps.

Fuel A$1.44 to $1.55/lt.

Fuel Consumption 13.12/13.81lt/100kms depending on which method I use.

Thoroughly recommend a visit. You can hire a small 4x2 unit at USD200/day- Short term ideal but for  couple of months + travel I much prefer the comfort and reliability of our own vehicle.
