Wowsers. Would suck if you got caught out there. I guess putty runs will now have a "backup" ute with a fuel barrel in the tray. Or just top up elsewhere and nanny it or go from the northern side instead.
Hard not to suspect a thing though.

That's a bummer - was a good stopping point for a break.

It's 175km from Windsor to Singleton so petrol stops shouldn't really be a problem should it?

There's a great fish and chip shop near Coles in Singleton :D :D (stop it! ...think "shrinking leathers")
I don't like the term insane - I prefer mentally hilarious!
