Day 2 - Narrabri

-
Day 2 of our adventure.  We woke to the sound of rain and heavy mist.  It was heaven.  Just like a winter morning should be.  Al had to work in Narrabri all morning, so I spent the morning working in the caravan, drinking cups of tea, and generally being much more comfortable than other times when I've been on Al's work trips (and had to wait in the car).  Bliss.

Then, just when I thought we would be staying another night in Narrabri, Al came out and we were off on the next phase of the drive.  And what a drive it was!  Up through Mooree, then onto the Carnavon Highway.  It was absolutely beautiful.  We were trying to get as far as Roma, or at least to the Nindigully Pub, but didn't get quite that far.  So instead we free camped at the 2-Mile Hotel in Mungindi, and had a lovely meal and a few drinks.  Freezing cold, but lovely.  I had an absolutely wonderful day.

Internet woes, so photos to come tomorrow, hopefully.
Location: Mungindi NSW, Australia

Day 8 of Western (Central) Queensland adventure

The end of Day 8 sees us at Airlie Beach, staying at the Big 4 caravan park to say the least!  The atmosphere here, and 'class' of campers is completely different from the earlier part of the week.  Where the first week was very much mud, dirt, country camping, this week will be more refined 'city' camping.  Both have their place, but I know which one I prefer. Anyway, some pics of the last couple of days.... Bush Oasis Caravan Park, Nome Anzac Park, Ayr Anzac Park, Ayr Ayr We have pulled up for the night (and tomorrow night) here, the Big 4 Caravan Park in Airlie Beach.  It is very fancy.  I would love to be able to take Tanya for a visit here - she would love it.

Day 9 of our wonderful adventure saw Al off working for the day in Airlie Beach, while I spent the day around the caravan park, doing chores and catching up on work emails. So, here I am, at a luxury caravan resort, chilling out before we begin to head south again tomorrow.

Start of a new adventure

-
Yesterday we started a new adventure.  Not the "around-the-country" one, but a significant one nevertheless.  Al get the go-ahead to take the caravan on a service run through Western Queensland, and upon hearing this, nothing was going to stop me from tagging along. Preparations started for a Narrabri-Roma-Charleville-Emerald run.  Packing for this trip was unlike any other we had done.  Whilst experts on packing for weekends away camping, this was a business trip.  And whilst experts at packing for a business trip, this was a business trip in a caravan.  We needed 'bits' of our weekend camping kit, and 'bits' of our business kit.  Lists abound, anything we forgot we will do without. So, amidst torrential rain, we left home yesterday just after 8am for the long haul to Narrabri, NSW.  We decided to go through Cunningham's Gap instead of through Toowoomba so that it was an easier run. Towing three tonne of caravan through rain isn't fun, so the...
