80 Mile Beach(80) to Dales Gorge (9786 km to 10348 km) with about 2 hours spent with stroke patient. About 30 km north of Pardoo Roadhouse we noticed a light truck do a U turn in front of us and started to chase down a winnebago towing a susuki 4WD on a trailer which was driving all over the road forcing oncoming cars into gravel. The right wheel of trailer came off with the winnebago continuing and the sparks from swerving started a small brush fire and slowly parts of trailer started to litter the road. The light truck tried going up both sides of the winnebago numerous times and eventually made its way in front of winnebago and able to get the driver to stop. We attended to driver with the couple in light truck ... read more
