Hay to Griffith - 153km

After three nights at Hay showground I am now parked in a 24 hour stopover at a place called Willow Park in Griffith.

I found a BigW as I was driving through the main city area, so I stopped and bought three pairs of tracksuit pants.  Although the days are really warm, it won't be long before the nights start to cool down, so thought I had best be prepared.

At the start of this trip I set myself a weekly budget of $350 - $400 which covers fuel, food, clothing and incidentals.  I plan to spend no more that $350 each week and put the extra $50 aside for unexpected expenses.  Although I have only been on the road for two weeks, so far it is working well.  The first week I had $150 left over and this week I have $50 left over.  Fuel is obviously going to be the biggest expense, especially when travelling through the outback, but if I can resist buying chocolate and drive straight past the tempting little country bakeries that seem to jump out at me, I should manage to keep well under $350 each week.
