We’d planned to fly back to the US less than 2 weeks from now, but instead we’re staying put in Brisbane for the foreseeable future.  So with some of my endless free time, I put together a few stats from our road trip and a final map showing our whole route.

Distance Traveled: 17, 986 km / 11,176 mi

Days on the road: 50

Money spent on fuel: $2764.23 AUD / approx. $1720 USD

Most expensive fuel: $2.119 AUD/litre / approx. $5.07 USD/gal

Least expensive fuel: $1.129 AUD/litre / approx. $2.70 USD/gal

Biggest overall  expense: Lodging managed to beat out fuel – average cost/night $72 AUD / $45.60 USD

Nights camping: 15 (felt like a lot more!)

PB&Js for lunch: 35 out of 50 lunches

Restaurant meals: 15 (including 2 takeaway meals) out of 150 meals

New animals seen in the wild: emus, camel, various lizards, reef shark (sadly, we’ve still only seen echidna and wombat as roadkill)

It’s very quiet around here, but we’re still keeping busy and mostly sane, taking long walks, going for runs, reading lots, and playing video games. We hope you are staying safe and well and we’d love to hear from you.
