5 Weeks In, These Terrified Fuel Conscious Grey Nomads Are Still Bunkering Down At Free Campsite

As the conflict in the Middle East drags on for another week, a pair of weary travellers have spoken to The Advocate about their predicament.

Stranded on the shores of some lake in Western Australia, Garrick And Vanessa Wilson say they don't feel like an end is in sight.

"Well, apparently a bloody blockade is starting up now," sighed Garrick, the slightly louder and more vocal half of the marooned pair.

"So doesn't look like we'll be leaving here any time soon."

"Bloody Albo mate."

"Bloody Iran."

He then launched into a rather inflammatory and misinformation fuelled rant about the state of the conflict and immigration.

The pair have been stranded at the free camp site they found on Wiki Camps since early March - after getting concerned they would get stuck in the middle of no where without fuel.

"Mate, it's a national fuel crisis," said Vanessa.

"Because of bloody Albo we might get stuck halfway across the Nullarbor with no fuel and no reception and PERISH."

"So we are staying here until things blow over, and we can guarantee that every service station in the country will be able to give us the maximum amount of fuel our vehicles and jerry cans can take at any point in time."

More to come.
