Distance: 527 Km
Fuel: 49 L
Eucla Roadhouse to Balladonia Roadhouse
After leaving the caravan park soon found out where the road trains stopped for the night.
For the first part of the trip the sky looked quite dull in the distance but it never did rain and by the time I arrived at Balladonia there were few clouds.
After a while driving I suddenly remembered that WA has a 100kph speed limit on towing vehicles, so slowed down to that speed.
Came across several emergency runways for the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS).
After nearly 200Km stopped at a rest area and emptied my 20 litres of fuel into my tank to save on fuel costs. At Caiguna started on a very long straight road.
Basically an uneventful drive, filled up with enough fuel to get me to Norseman and booked a powered site in the roadhouse caravan park ($50!)
BTW Balladonia is the area where Skylab crashed back to Earth, the local council sent NASA a fine for littering.
