The common factor, wherever you start, is which way you make your circumnavigation - clockwise or anticlockwise. There are two major aspects to consider:
 | the prevailing winds |
| | the northern winter |
The wind may seem the least likely factor to take into account when planning the trip. But you need only one day's travel bucking into a stiff headwind to realise what a significant factor it is. And your wallet will feel the strain when you pull up to refuel. The difference between a 30 kph headwind and a 30 kph tailwind is 60 kph of wind. When you are bucking into 30 kph of wind, the driver going the other way is 60 kph better off, windwise. Compared with calm conditions, that 30 kph headwind could add 50% to your fuel bill.
CARAVANNING
Warning: Parking your caravan overnight in roadside rest areas can be dangerous and is often illegal. Caravan Parks provide a safe, secure facility for tourists and they need and deserve our support. Sadly, more caravan parks are closing than opening and this places the caravanning lifestyle so treasured by Australians at risk.
