No sooner had we greeted Dad in the driveway when our dog "Poppy" appeared. Stuey had brought her down from Hervey Bay to save us the drama of having to drive up to get her. We were absolutely stoked to see Grandad, Stu and Poppy!
The surprises kept on flowing though, as dad has done an amazing job looking after the place while we've been away. Not only has he got the grounds looking like a botanic garden, he's put in a brand new garden out the front, planted out a gorgeous fernery near our bedroom, bought some beautiful new plants and a lawn edger, fixed up the sprinkler systems and organised for our old fridge in the garage to be fixed (with Stu's help). We just can't believe it!!
So, to finish "Pops 'Round the Block" we thought we'd share some statistics that Keith collected along the way:
· Days Away: 126 days (from 22nd September)
· Sites stayed: 51
· Cost of Accommodation: $4474.20
· Total Kms travelled: 23821
· Total Fuel Used: 3457.69L
· Fuel Cost: $5581.83
· Average Cost of Fuel: $1.614 /L
· Average Fuel Consumption: 14.52L/100km
· Most Expensive Fuel: $2.25/L at Barkly Roadhouse (NT)
· Family Favourites: Kakadu NT (Hollie); Karijini NP WA & Bungle Bungle WA (Lauren); Shark Bay WA (Linda) and Broome WA (Keith)
· Next 2 holidays Planned: Fly & Drive the Red Centre and Cruise the Witsundays
· Would we do it again? ABSOLUTELY - We want to see the Top End and Kimberley after the wet season.
