Leg 19:12 August – 567km in 8:26 to (M) Tom Price Tourist Park in Tom Price for 2 nights.
That’s 10 driving days with the van over 21 actual days. So trying to get into a rhythm of a day towng followed by a day not.
An average of 290km on the towing days. The longest is 567 from Exmouth to Tom Price but there’s not much choice there. The Nav software reckons 14:40 to do that section … about 45km/h. I must be missing something … it’s bitumen all, well almost all, the way. I think closer to 6 hours. If it’s truly that much of a haul then we’ll split it up with a free camp.
I’ve put in the destinations as being Caravan Parks in a lot of cases, but in reality there will be quite a few free camp nights. I did want to pick out which parks we’d stay in in advance though so that if we decide that we needed a night in a park we’d have a first choice already queued up.
Also, the days in each location are the bare minimum allowed. Once the entire itinerary is up then I’ll know how many spare days I’ve got, or how many days I need to scavenge.
