Xmas Holiday Trips

Xmas Holiday Trips.

Heading over to South Australia on Saturday morning for 5-10 days of wandering the bush and taking in the scenery. On my own but usually meet up with other people travelling in the same direction. Mt Gambier first, then the Coorong. After that, the Fleurieu Peninsula and Granite Island. Then on to the Yorke Peninsula and the very tip at Woorooka. Biggest change from my normal touring is that I will be motelling it most of the time, with only a few days camping in the tent. This small trip will be about 3000k's.

Time for a cuppa

10.30pm and the temp is 39C, no breeze but managed to sleep from about midnight to 7am

Black Wallaby keeping an eye on me.

Just over 3000 k's so far and still travelling fine. The temp has dropped to the mid 30's so it is much more pleasant driving conditions. Used 1 litre of oil so far and averaging around 6.5l/100k's E10 95ron Petrol. The temp doesn't seem to affect the Jimny as much as it burns me

im well jealous
