Random road trip thoughts. Diesel is my biggest expense while road tripping. I use Petrol Spy to find the cheapest anywhere I need to fill up. What fascinates me is the difference between two servos 500m apart can be 25c a litre. How does the more expensive one attract custom? #RoadTrip

Random road trip thoughts. I like staying in free RV spots. Since the camper is fully self contained the main purpose I have for caravan parks is when I need to do laundry or have a full sized shower. The photo shows last night's camp in Merredin, about a dozen vans an caravans on site. #RoadTrip

Merridin 24hr free stop for self contained campers

Day 31 of the road trip and after dropping the copilot at the airport, headed east to the WA wheatbelt. What's more iconic than painted silos? #RoadTrip

The Northam silos were the first painted in WA
The silos in Merridin
More of the Northam silos - difficult to see and photograph

Good Morning #Canada
In the Ojibwe culture, a dreamcatcher is made with willow hoop, on which is woven a net or web and decorated with sacred items such as feathers or beads. Traditionally, dreamcatchers are hung over a cradle or bed as protection during sleep as Native Americans believed that at night the air was filled with dreams, both good and bad. Today, based on current events, we need numerous and bigger #Dreamcatchers to filter out the crap. I'm fortunate that the world's largest dreamcatcher, measuring 12.93 metres (over 42 feet) in diameter, is in my backyard, only 45 minutes north of where I live. It was created by Dale (Bobbie) Williams and located in Rama First Nation, Ontario, Canada, near Orillia. Williams was inspired to create it after learning the Guinness World Record holder for a dreamcatcher was in Europe and he felt it didn't meet the traditional definition. I think it had sausages hanging from it.

Day 21 of the road trip was a big day sightseeing around the Cape Leeuwin area. The Cape is the south western most tip of Australia and where the Indian Ocean meets the Southern Ocean. Wild seas, wild winds but a great day. #RoadTrip

Day 18 of the road trip saw us heading out of Perth for a trip around South West WA. Mandurah is a lot bigger than I imagined ( 100,000 people ), Bunbury is also large and has some great public art. #RoadTrip

Day 19 of the road trip was spent is the pretty coastal town of Busselton. Best known for its jetty, at 1.841km it's the longest timber-piered jetty in the southern hemisphere. Made for a great walk out and back. #RoadTrip

Good Morning #Canada
If your next #RoadTrip takes you to today's #BigStuffInSmallTowns destination, your GPS might get confused. The only border city in Canada is Lloydminster, which straddles the provincial border between Alberta and Saskatchewan. This bi-provincial city is recognized for being the only one of its kind in Canada, with its unique situation reflected in its single municipal administration, which operates under a special charter approved by both provinces. And on the dividing line between the Lloydminsters are 4 of the largest border markers on the planet. Each one is 100 feet high and they stand on the boundary for the third and fourth meridian. Erected in 1994, each marker represents an important theme: oil and gas, the Barr Colonists, agriculture and First Nations & Métis.

Day 12 of the road trip took me from Esperance to Hyden, WA. As an old Aggie I loved travelling through tens of thousands of hectares of canola and wheat crops. Found this great bit of silo art by Jerome Davenport in Varley. #RoadTrip #SiloArt
