Numbers

Here are the numbers of my trip to make your planning easier if you also fancy a wicked ride through the red continent.

1. All Stops offered cooked meals, sometimes groceries and water/drinks (except for bush camp)

2. All stops offered offical camping spots which varied from super spots with lush green grass,a pool and a great bar to spots at the back of a truckstop inbetween rusty auto-parts. All in all, the camping spots were at least just fine and pricing varied from 5-20 dollars the night.
