DAY SEVENTY: ST LAWRENCE
Today we left Emu Beach. There wasn't much to do there or we would
have stayed another night. We're only about 1,000km from Cairns with only a few
stops to go.
Today's stop is a
free site about 200km north of Emu beach. We didn't have much fuel as we set
off we thought there would be a petrol station nearby. A turn out there wasn’t.
I was starting to panic as the fuel gauge was on empty and the red light had
been on for quite a while. I had a horrible feeling I would be walking to the petrol
station. Eventually there was a sign for fuel. Thank God. It was obscenely
expensive compared to anywhere we had stopped but we needed it but I put only a
little bit in. After another 3km a Caltex emerged which was significantly
cheaper. I filled it to the top. Good job we could fill up because the van had
drank 58l from a 60l tank.
When we arrived
at St Lawrence we were both amazed and disappointed, amazed at the fact it was
so nice abut disappointed because we were hoping to come across a supermarket
since we only have soup and eggs. Guess what our dinner was.
