Report Card

Time Away 

  • Liz and Harry – 20 weeks
  • Trevor and Max – 25 weeks

Kilometres Travelled

  • Liz and Harry – 18,000
  • Trevor and Max – 27,000

Breakages

  • One Camper Trailer (although I just got a call to say all responsibilities have been sorted and the next call we get will be telling us it is all fixed and ready to be picked up) Smile.
  • Car:
    • Rear window (thanks to the bastards who tried to break in in Melbourne).
    • Rear door handle – the only real issue with the car that wasn’t caused by an external party, hardly anything to complain about.
    • 1 tyre – split in Kakadu.
  • Bike Carrier – never really did the job it was supposed to – I guess it was made for short trips on suburban roads. But it didn’t even cope when we decided to only carry two bikes on it rather than four!!
  • Harry’s bike – (the first one – the one I bought in Canberra is still going strong).
  • Punctures:
    • Max’s bike – 3.
    • Harry’s bike – 2.
    • My bike – 1.
  • 2 bike bells (fell apart on the roads).
  • 1 ipod – lost.
  • 1 camera tripod (now a bipod Smile).
  • 1 camera (Max’s) – a win to Fowler’s Bay sand dunes.
  • Several hats!!

All in all, a fairly small roll of honour for a trip of this nature!

Initial Awards (My Opinion Only)

Favourite Campsite

  • Broome Hill (WA - outward leg)
  • Yacka (SA)
