It was a slow drive home because of school holiday and Sunday morning traffic. We had to back out of our caravan park site because it was too tight to drive out.
There are no rest stops along the southern end of the Bruce Hwy, or along the Gateway Motorway. We took the exit to the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, which is also the access to the Boondall Wetlands. We stopped outside the wetlands for a short break, but don’t think we should enter the wetlands precinct towing a caravan. It was easy to return to the motorway.
Several neighbours welcomed us home, and we were delighted to be given a box of meat and vegetables so we (Anita!) could cook our dinner tonight. Our friend dropped off our accumulated mail and sourdourdough bread.
We emptied the fridge and defrosted it, carted loads of washing into the house, and emptied the Toyota of valuables. We had forgotten to arrange to have the hot water service turned on, so there will be no hot water in the house until tomorrow. Having a caravan parked outside gave us an alternative source of hot water, so we showered in the van!
Blue and Tilly ran and played for hours. I took him walking with our dog walking group – Bluey only walked because treats were available. He is now exhausted but Tilly is still exploring all doors and windows.
