# Stories from the Road

Road trips around Australia and what it takes to plan them. Some are trips my wife and I have done, some are other travellers' videos and stories I think are worth your time, and some show how FuelOracle works out where to fill and how much to carry when the next pump is a long way off.

- [How much fuel to carry on the Gunbarrel: Warburton to Carnegie Station](https://fueloracle.com.au/blog/gunbarrel-how-much-fuel-to-carry) (2026-10-03, Creator trips, by Shane Lord): A review of NextLevelOZ's Gunbarrel episodes, and what FuelOracle says the 487 km from Warburton to Carnegie Station needs when you're towing a caravan.

- [Gold Coast to the Top End: the trip that started FuelOracle](https://fueloracle.com.au/blog/qld-to-nt-where-fueloracle-began) (2026-09-25, Our trips, by Shane Lord): In June 2026 my wife and I towed our van 9,462 km to the Top End and back. The spreadsheet I planned it with is why FuelOracle exists. Markdown: https://fueloracle.com.au/blog/qld-to-nt-where-fueloracle-began.md
