Driving across Australia in a Mercedes W123

04 Jan

My trip accross Australia (Jan 2010) from Perth to Melbourne, in our 1985 Mercedes 230e. Many of the sites are familiar to us Aussies and I didnt think needed any titling. The car averaged overall about 10-11L/100kmh of 98 octane with two male passengers and fully loaded (as moving home!). The final pic shows the overal trip stats, although the fuel cost was not correct. The thunderstorm was just over the SA border from WA. Video (low quality) was with a small Canon IXUS and the still shorts were mainly with a Nikon D90 and 18-200. The clip is an old Australian classic by Icehouse, Great Southern Land.
