Day 32 – Mt Magnet to Leonora Started about 9AM, a little later than planned – SWMBO must have her morning coffee… Had a quick look at the London bridge at Sandstone. On to Leinster for a small break, and to pick up some sangas for lunch. Made it to Leonora on 1 tank of ULP – 93.29 litres, with 20.85L/100 – fairly good. Checked over the truck, and still losing some coolant. Found top hose joint to radiator a bit “leaky” so adjusted clamp. If it’s down again tomorrow, I’ll put a new hose and/or new clamp on it. Tyres on CT are at 38PSI (possibly still warm), so will check again in the morning (when dead cold) and pump them up to at least 42. Running 46 back and 42 front on the truck when towing. Will need to start early tomorrow – 637KM run through Kal and Norseman to Balladonia. Might not make it that far (certain person snoring keeps me awake, so a bit sleep deprived), so may have to free camp along the way. With that in mind, have moved two empty Jerries to the back of the truck, which will allow me to store some firewood in the Jerry holders on the trailer. Have driven 9433KM so far, which for my Mercan mates, is NYC to San Fran and back again.
