Looooong task and a long day overall. They called a 258km task out to the west (toward Hay). The drive along course line takes you through almost nothing, just lots of Australian outback. Drivers were warned at the briefing to fuel up anyplace we saw an open station. It's not unheard of for teams to sleep in their cars after a late retrieve waiting for the gas station to open up in the morning. That may have been the fate of the team of Christian/Blenky/Glen as their driver arrived at goal with 1/3 a tank of fuel - which wouldn't have been enough to make it back to the nearest fuel at West Waylong (haven't heard yet this morning though).
