Wallaroo

So far we have travelled 4,809.2km, used 886.11lts of diesel which has cost us $1,573.08.

Breaking it down: it cost an average of $1.775 per litre and economy rate of 18.42lts/100km.

Pretty good considering we are pulling the camper which weighs around 1,600 kilos.

Arrived in Wallaroo early Friday afternoon (19/4).  The caravan park is right on Office Beach so after we set up went for a walk along the beach and along the jetty where the locals were fishing for mullet.  Spent Saturday playing tourist around Kadina, Moonta and Port Hughes.  Went to Moonta Mines and checked out the Museum – lots of fascinating history there mainly around the Cornish miners.  Checked out some of the old miner’s cottages in Moonta – very nice, it’s on the potential settle down list.  Heavy rain and squally winds from early morning meant not much sleep and Sunday it was a matter of keeping dry and out of the wind – thank goodness for an eReader and Scrabble on the iPad.  Heading towards Swan Reach tomorrow but will be back in this part of the world around 23 May for the Kernewek Lowender Cornish Festival.
