On The Road Again
So, our shakedown trip is done and dusted and we’re ready for our next foray into the wilderness. We repacked for a longer trip, including push bikes and an electric piano. What? You never know when you might need one.
Once more we squeezed through the garden gates, and this time we managed to not hit the tree.
Our first stop was at Esk, a mammoth one and a half hours drive from home. It was Peter’s first two days of working from Chunky Bum, and we wanted to make sure he had plenty of phone/internet coverage. That’s our excuse anyway.
After that we spent another night at Harland Park, where Hugo had a good catch up with Rodney the Rooster and we explored the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail which runs past Harland Park.
The next night we spent with family at Kingaroy. I had a killer headache and went to bed early, I got lots of sympathy for that. Peter and his brother hit the port bottle, so Peter had a killer headache in the morning. Sympathy…not so much. From there we revisited Ban Ban Springs.
So far, no new roads traveled, we have simply retraced our previous trip. The thing is, you can’t avoid travelling some of the same roads, and it is a good opportunity to stay at some of the places you have enjoyed in the past. Still close to home we drove through Gayndah, Mundubbera (you must check out the butcher there) and Eidsvold, before spending the night at Cracow.
By this time, we discovered we had a leak from our freshwater tank, the washing machine had broken away from one of its three insubstantial tethers and the greywater gauge was faulty. Fingers crossed that’s all.
