we had to do was divide the dinner and eat it! The minimal
dishes we had were wiped down with BBQ wipes. We’d set up,
eaten and was enjoying a beverage by the fire every night while
most were still cooking away on their devices. We’d planned to
eat at pubs wherever we could along the way, so that took care
of the remaining dinners while supporting the locals. We could
not have been more happy with the way our meal planning
worked out and will most definitely be doing the same for all
future touring we do.
Early on in the trip, Fred had the suggestion to run a fine system
along the way, and when we got to Birdsville, any money raised
was going to be donated to the Royal Flying Doctors service, a
service that is invaluable in the outback, something you hope
you never have to use, but you’re really grateful if you do.
Being Fred’s idea, we made him sergeant in arms, so some of
the fines were rather questionable, but it was for a great cause
so we all dug deep every night around the fire. By the time we
got to Birdsville, we’d raised $72.85, a brilliant effort by all!
We’ve started a new tradition for our club too, and this is going
to show how many of you read these trip reports! PLEASE, if
