Easter Bunny

Took a trip to Adelaide with some friends over easter.  We ended up in and around Moonta which is a nice part of the world. Below is a pic from the old copper mine at the back of the town.

To get here, we loaded the Rok with 5 people, filled the ute with camping stuff to the top (bottom of the canopy windows), hitched up the camper trailer and loaded 120 Litres of water (we were camping out bush)

The Amarok did not disappoint.  With this load we averaged about 12 - 14L/100km.  I am not a road racer but I do stick to the speed limit and was doing 110 kph as long as the limit allowed.

Heading home, we of course had to go up and over the Adelaide hills.  If you have never been, it is a very very long steep gradient with a speed limit of 100kmh once you leave the bottom.  As a test, I clicked on the cruise control and let the beast take over.  Surprisingly, we were able to reach 95kmph and overtook much of the traffic on the hill, again, the torque in this vehicle is very impressive! 

All up we did a little over 2000km's in 4 days and filled the tank 3 times
