Distance: 467 Km

Fuel: 45L

Threeways to Larrimah

Originally was going to take three stops to get from Camooweal to Darwin but decided to do it in two because the last stop was only a couple of hours drive from the destination.

Today headed for Larrimah Hotel which I had pre-booked through the G’day app on my phone.

Set off about 8am after the usual shower and breakfast. First stop the John Flynn Memorial – he founded the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

Almost immediately came across the cyclists I passed yesterday, I had pulled to the wrong side of the road to overtake a road train when it began to signal and pulled out in front of me as it passed the cyclists, once it had completed that it moved over and I was able to pass.

The rest of the journey was pretty uneventful, I stopped to make tea a few times, stopped at Elliot for fuel (at an unattended truck stop). My fuel consumption for the last several days has been exceptionally good with tailwinds making my fuel consumption below 10 litres per 100kms  which is better than I normally get just driving the car alone.

Arrived at the Larrimah Hotel at about 1pm, I have to say it is not what I expected from a G’day Parks caravan park, nothing wrong but I was expecting something a bit more up market whereas it was much the same – a roadhouse with older facilities.
