The last leg into Qld and Tewantin in particular was a journey of some 305 Kms, and it was ALL freeway/motorway from beginning to end. Fuel economy on this run (according to the car computer) was an incredible 14.2 lts/100km.

It did feel like the weather gods were against us – come on I mean it’s not like we don’t get enough rain back home or anything!!! So on the good old rail network again we were now headed for the dim lights, cattle and incest of Rockhampton or Rocky as it’s known to the locals.
