Default Re: 34 trip

Wayno, that seems a lifetime ago.
Anothe rgreat relaxing drive today down to Roma,(440klms)
weather is lovely at around 29C
Engine is good ,oil pressure 53 psi at 55mph and 15 -20 at hot idle
Starts first push of the sstarter hot or cold,
Had a nice talk with a truck driver ,he was loaded with wheat and total weight 90 tons,we passed him on a long uphill climb ,but he soomed past on the flat,we were only doing 50 or so.
Dearesr fuel so far at Injune at $2.54 per litre,lucky we only needed 27 ltrs.
Last August it was only $1.89.
Pics are our lunch stop at the top of the range,
The suspension is handling the rough stuff pretty good,and only bottomed out once,mainly because i was gawking off looking at the sceenery instead of paying attention .
The rock formations on the drive today were really impressive,we were in the area of the Canarvon gorge which is special.
tomorrow we are off to Canamulla ,where we will stop for a day just looking around etc.
