We spent 90% of our time away (3mths + 1 wk) in Queensland. There were no major issues… The car performed very well but we did need to watch our “weights”. This meant either not filling the car fuel tank fully or taking on less fresh water. A few stats… Diesel cost between $1.77 & $2.30/ litre. And I’ll guess the average to be around $2.05. Fuel consumption was 16.5L/100km. Water was of a good quality and easy to obtain. The total trip distance for the car was 10,300km and 6,850km for the van.
