I refer to ‘the Extraordinary Taxi Ride’ and in particular leg number four and leg number five. I note that leg number four ends in Kalgoorlie and leg number five begins in Perth, and I ask -
(1) Who will be travelling in the Taxi from Kalgoorlie to Perth?
(2) Why are there no passengers from Kalgoorlie to Perth?
(3) When will the Taxi driver sleep if he/she has to leave Kalgoorlie on the 28th and then leave Perth for Lancelin on the 29th?
(4) What is the cost of this extra unadvertised part of journey?
(5) Who is paying for this 596km drive from Kalgoorlie to Perth which is not included in the journey planner?
