From Vicki & Glenn

Lots of driving days in January, so lots of fuel. We spent Christmas at home with family, so we were not interested in tourist activities or stopping too long in places within a few hundred kilometres from home that we had seen before. We were on a mission to travel straight to South Australia, traveling faster than usual. We had hoped to cross the Nullarbor into WA by now, but maintenance kept us grounded a little longer than planned. Thankfully we were not out of pocket for warranty repairs to our vehicle in Port Lincoln. Basically, this month has been a travel month, not a tourist month. Lower expenses reflect this. This has been good to slightly lower our weekly average, but it only reduces our overall weekly average minimally.
