2800 kilometers or 1740 miles. That’s how far we have to drive to get from Adelaide, South Australia to Perth, Western Australia in order to avoid paying a $4200 one-way drop-off fee to our rental car company.
Those are 2800 very long, incredibly flat, remarkably empty kilometers, occasionally punctuated by a petrol stop, drab roadhouses with odd names like Cocklebiddy and Balladonia, and not much else.
It took three days and the only saving grace was dinner with the Langer sisters and their husbands in Koolgardie.
What is the name of the car rental company?
How about reliving 1970?
Reliving 1970 would require me to hitchhike around Australia. That’s not going to happen.
