We were on the road by 8.30 am. There was no rain overnight, and it was dry and sunny for the 4 hour drive.
Our only hiccup was turning right off the Ipswich Boonah Rd onto the Beaudesert Boonah Rd to see these signs.
We had pulled over to contemplate our options when a car drew alongside. The passenger looked at our Bushtracker and said “We’ve got one of them”. Their van is a 14 footer while ours is 15 feet long. These short vans are rare as most Bushtrackers are 19 to 22 feet long. The couple assured us the road was open, so we drove past the signs and did not see any water on the road once past this bend.
This flooding was from Teviot Brook, which had covered the road a little further on, but was flowing under the bridge when we passed.
We were home just after 12.30 when we did a quick unload, before taking the Bushtracker back to the storage depot.
Bluey and Tilly had a run together on the carpet, something they both miss when we take them away in the caravan. I took him for a walk to the park, but none of his friends were around.
