5th May 2024

Distance: 392 Km

Fuel: 43 L

Left Kimba at about 8am, there was really nothing there to delay me, I was up at 6am for a shower so once I had some breakfast I connected up and set .off.

Interesting enough drive, had to overtake a couple of trucks and caravans but easy enough – not much traffic.

I find that travelling at 110kph on my speedo is about 103kph in actual speed, keeps me out of the way of trucks and seems to be reasonably economic.

Stopped briefly at Wudinna to have look at the granite sculpture which appears to be a tribute to Australian farmers.

Made surprisingly good progress, filled up with fuel in Ceduna, probably the last below $2 a litre for at least a few days.

It was only about 80km to Penong, where I arrived just after midday, I had  booked a site a couple of days ago but when I arrived it seemed to have been forgotten but was able to get one though the park filled up by late afternoon. Once I had set up drove to the local servo to top up the tank and made a stop at Penong’s only attraction – its collection of windmills.

On the site next to me was a young girl on a motor bike also doing the Big Lap. She seemed to be well set up.
