Xmas 2012–Oberon to Home

Not much to report on the trip home. We had planned to stay out one more night before heading home but after we found a caravan drawer open again and a large mess in the van we decided to make it one last BIG day and drive all the way.

We did stop at Goulburn on the way back, and therefore one last “Big Things” photo for the trip, a big Merino sheep. I should of headed out the back for a second photo because he seems correctly proportioned. The people who made this must of had many a laugh.

Overall we had a great trip. Our van has suffered some damage and we had some near misses, but based on the roads we travelled i think we did great. I have some repairs to make now, as well as some improvements, before we head out on our next adventure.

The Colorado performed flawlessly and i was impressed with how it went overall. Below is the facts and figures, showing a maximum of 16L/100Km but this can easily be justified by the steep ascents the car was making whilst pulling the van. On average a value of 13l/100km is as i would of expected.

The last photo shows a distribution of funds, with the total trip costing around $3000

As i make improvements to the van i will update the relevant pages.=

Thanks for following us on our latest trip.
