so sad but very true, do i plan to use my toys ? or is it just another garden shed to have my poppy naps in ? IF, we go away this season it will be a shorter trip with a longer stay, maybe transfer my $$ from the fuel account and use it on a paid site, closer to home . a possible location would be nrma Somerset Dam ,half a tank from home and still has that out of way feeling. actually close enough to do a second trip to go home and get my boat and do some serious fishing and redclaw trapping, it has an unpowered section there on the water so no need to keep taking the boat out, this section is designated a quite zone so no generators or parties. maybe 2 or 3 weeks in one spot, which would answer most of the questions above ,just have to convince the minister of finance and war as these plans will interfere with her babysitting duties

My birthday run to daughters next month and we usually end up at Bingara afterwards, I have plans to cover it but I think the price will keep me closer to home, Technically I can do a round trip to Cabarlah for about 115lts, so if I get son in law to have a stash save me carting some jerries if they go dry down there .... BIngara I think will have to wait ..

could be interesting how this plays out this winter ,high priced or no fuel will keep the mexicans south of the border ,a lot of regional van parks only survive on the winter nomads, there could be some good deals this season but only if you can get there

Been thinking the same thing, thats why Im still keen on getting away, really don't care about price its availability thats the worry, don't travel as far, stay longer in places to spread the wallet pain .............During COVID it was great camping, hardly anyone around except some Victorians who didn't want to go home, so should be lots of room but its late May when the Mexicans start up here and if this is still going on by then we will be in deep Do Do for sure ... Ive been doing trip costings and trip to Winton or Canberra is getting a bit exxy, not so much the price as thats about the same as here its when its added up but the chances of the one garage town running out of fuel is probably going to keep me close to home well at least 400km as thats how much reserve I can carry ...

 

[Hitting the road]

Had planned this time last year to do a trip out West taking in Thargomindah, Windorah, Quilpie up to Longreach in April. Cancelled it last year due to flooding and closed roads...feels like Groundhog Day all over again...flooding again out West and roads closed. Can alter the route if need be...plus potentially some of the free camping areas being a quagmire even if accessible!

Now we have fuel shortages...seriously? ...still plan to do it IF there is some surety of fuel supply...which unfortunately there isn't right now. Lets see in 4 weeks as that is when we planned to leave...
