Yeah I know, not just the cost of the trip but the things I need to do to the car to make it worthy of this trip is another killer.

In all honesty guys roughly how much fuel money do you think we'll need? Would $1500-2000 cover it?

So Winnie, some maths for you to consider about the fuel costs.
If you do say a 5000km trip. (Melbourne to Mt Dare Hotel is 2050kms each way plus 1000kms for play and touring)
If your average say 16lt/100 for the entire trip? (probably 13lt/100 for the bulk and 18 to 20lt/100kms in the desert?) you will use a total of 800lts of fuel for the trip.
say of that 500lts at an average of $1.60 per lt =$800 & 300lt @$2 per lt average is $600 + $800 and it will be around $1200 to $1500 of fuel door to door.
Hope that helps mate.

Typical eastern stater's... us 'gropers will travel 1,000 K's just to find some shade for smoko.
1,500 if we want shade plus no red effin' dirt.
I still can't understand why some people don't like us exporting that shit... 50 years on and we have more than we started with.
P.S. I have risen from a 90% definite to a 99% definite so save me a good spot at Dalhousie
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
