Perth to Menzies
30th May

Perth to bush camp south of Menzies

We departed around 630 heading to a bush camp just north of Menzies.

Fuel economy towing was interesting, worked out we would not make it to Kal even with my long range fuel tank.

We stopped for a quick comfort stop and discovered the air bags were down, we pumped them up again, noticing they were not holding pressure.  We would need to keep checking to see how they go.  

Next stop was Southern Cross to fuel up, checked the airbags and yep they were down again, so once fuelled up we moved just down the road, put lunch in the oven and checked the airbags, we worked out it was only the right one going down.  It was at this stage the ingenious idea of the air hose staying attached, my Kraken (onboard air system) has a pressure sensor that keeps air at the setting needed.  This did give us the enjoyable sound of an air compressor kicking on and off.
We stopped again about an hour later to enjoy lunch and to see is what we had done was working, success on both parts, the Mozzarella sticks were great and the air bag was staying up.

On to Kalgoorlie.
A few of stops here and of course one of those was to fuel up, another was to check out the super site.

On to Menzies, however we did not get that far, we decided that we would find a spot to camp up around 430, which puts us about 35 mins from Menzies and approx. 50 min from our camp destination
