Up early this morning; a very cold pre-dawn start to our 700km trek home to Adelaide via Broken Hill.
Highlights from today (Fri-14-Aug):
- saw lots of kangaroos north of Broken Hill as dawn broke
- our last iced coffee for the trip, for breakfast at Broken Hill
- lunch at the Burra Bakery
- said farewell to the dirt and enjoyed bitumen south of Broken Hill
- arrived home safely, unpacked the top layer of our stuff, sat back and enjoyed a drink under the verandah, recounting the high points of our trip. We both agreed that it was a marvellous adventure and we couldn't believe our luck with the weather & the crowds (lack of)
- seeing our family and friends again
- looking forward to sleeping in our own beds again
Lowlights:
- had to dodge lots of kangaroos north of Broken Hill as dawn broke
- still can't work out where we "lost"30 litres of diesel from the Landcruiser's sub tank. Incredible to believe that someone could have milked it along the way without our noticing. This will probably remain an unsolved mystery.
Tosh & Techo, back home after a fabulous trip!
We plan soon to post some facts & figures from our trip, the full track details (for viewing in Google Earth), some more photos of the road conditions along the way and a couple of our most important tips for anyone considering or planning a trek to The Cape.
