Travelling Again

For the past two months we have been busy repairing and restoring doors and verandas at home. We have run away from the unfinished jobs travelling with the Bushtracker.

We farewelled friends over dinner and again over breakfast! There was intermittent rain at the Gold Coast, but it eased off soon after we hit the road. Our original plan was to attend a Beccy Cole concert at Warwick, but after the concert was postponed we decided to still stop at Warwick for a few days.

It was a slow trip towing the van on wet roads that have been damaged by heavy rainfalls. We had two stops, refuelling ourselves with a serving of delicious tiramisu from Vivo at the Star Casino. Blue and Tilly knew we were packing the van so were relieved to be put inside their travel crate at the back of the Toyota.

As we arrived at the caravan park two Roadies drove in behind us in their motorhome with their two dogs. They were also going to be at the concert but are catching up with mutual friends who live in Warwick.

It took longer than usual to set up the van as we are on a sloping site and needed to think through the processes. I reversed onto the allocated site with our new neighbour gawking all the while. He commented that I must have done that before, and I told him I had done it twice! Another bloke who has never seen a woman tow a caravan!!

Precocious little girls kept wanting to see Blue and Tilly. I eventually had to tell them to keep away from our van. The critters ate all of their dinner and are now resting. Blue first had to dig himself a nest in Anita’s pile of pillows.

The park is full with several members of the Ulysses Motorcyle Club staying here in cabins, caravans or tents. The club is only for people aged 40+. There are several three wheeled motorcycles here in the park. Some tow small trailers or caravans. Bluey found a motorcycle couple to admire and cuddle him.

We had leftover Thai for dinner followed by two small Easter eggs. We will be having an early night, and hopefully a sleep-in tomorrow morning.
