Weather:
Mostly sunny with occasional showers but no torrential rains like the 24hr storm in Bundaberg.
Girt sale:
Quiet, but a few nibbles which have not yet produced a sale. Had a call from Australian Motorhomes in Newcastle, interested in selling her on consignment. Still considering that one.
Fuel prices:
Ranging from ‘sensible considering the market’ to ‘this bloke should be wearing an eye patch & have one peg leg, and come stumping out to the bowser saying “Aarrrgh, me hearties.” !’
We’ve paid between $1.43 ~ $1.65. Rolled straight through one station when we saw $1.70 on the bowser.
Other vanners:
Barcaldine looked like a caravan sales yard! Shiny new vans pulled by shiny new 4WDs from a-hole to breakfast hole! We had to park 1km past a bakery & walk back to buy a loaf of bread! On the road there are far more vans & m/hs, (lots of hire vans, too) also mostly shiny off-roaders with tyre black still on the van wheels. No dust in sight.
The drivers also seem to have no idea about road etiquette such as pulling over occasionally to allow the traffic behind to pass… some also travel in close convoy, making passing three or four of them in one go quite impossible.
