So why am I explaining all of this? I'm going to be posting screenshots of the circumnavigation as we go. Just thought any reader might like to know.
Took the dogs to the beach today. Gorgeous day in SE Qld, dogs had a whale of a time, I got a little burnt but not badly. Only there for 2 hours and that was enough. 6500 steps, miniscule to some but pretty much 2 days exercise for me. Including chasing dogs in sand. Must do again soon.

Today's leg of #round-australia-clockwise Port Lincoln [YPLC] to Ceduna [YCDU]. Uneventful, the oil temp sender is obviously working a little better, fuel planning has to be better as we landed with less than 10 minutes of fuel remaining.

This is INSIDE my dwelling, in the kitchen. Doors & windows are open, there is NO BREEZE and I'm hiding out in the #flightsim room where a ceiling fan and desk fan are both flat out! Doesn't help much that I'm sitting next to a high-end graphics computer but it's cooler here than anywhere else

For anyone who cares, I'm a flightsim enthusiast/hobbyist. A pilot who never realised his dream. I've been a fan & user of Microsoft Flight Simulator for decades. The group of like minds I "fly" with call ourselves Seagulls Incorporated. We fly together online several times a week.

The English pronunciation of "Nullarbor" is "NUL-uh-bor" or "NUL-ər-bor," with three syllables. The first syllable is pronounced like "null," the second is a schwa sound like the "uh" in "above," and the third syllable rhymes with "car" or "bar".
What?! Since when? Since when has it not been pronounced Nullahbore?!

Indeed it is. I believe only Victorians call deep fried batter potato slices 'cakes'
