5th Lap - Embarkation ( NSW )
THE FIFTH LAP Embarkation ( NSW ) Last: Prologue Photo Album: Embarkation ( NSW ) It was an auspicious day , the full moon was coming and the weather was perfect !!! So the folklore has it ! But it was more a choice determined by the need to getting ready with supplies, clearing out all the known not-so-minor gremlins, and letting the family get used to the idea of this being a 6 month expedition, with no destination in mind. A stick was thrown into the air, and it pointed south. So we embarked. I decided to roll into a Resource Recovery Center, another euphemism for “rubbish landfill” or “tip” in the old parlance, to weigh the truck. It weighed 5.92 tonnes, before adding fuel to the 9 gerry cans onboard. I estimated, after filling the gerry cans up, it would add another 180Kg, making approximately 6.1 T, still well below the GVM limit of Sandi’s 6.5T, and with the 150L water tank already full, I don’t expect the head room to be used any time so...
