A little perspective

Over the course of our journey, we travelled over 21000 km, which is the equivalent of driving to London (or New York) and nearly half way back. Nearly 16000 km were undertaken with the van in tow, which is the distance from Melbourne to London! During that time we consumed over 2850 litres of fuel (or at least the car did - let's not start any unhelpful rumours here!), with the maximum price paid being $1.79 per litre (at Kings Canyon). Unfortunately, I am not able to tell you the impact on the width of my derriere, having sat for so long - I haven't counted the hours sitting in the car which made all this possible!
The maximum temperature experienced was at Kalbarri (37 C) and the minimum was at Rawnsley Park in the Flinders Ranges (-3 C). The lowest daily maximum temperature was in Perth (15 C), and the highest minimum was in Darwin (22 C). We experienced no rain between leaving Alice Springs and arriving in Dongara.
The longest stretch of straight road appeared on the Nullarbor, where one travels for 145 km without turning the steering wheel.
