On the Road

An early rise saw us keen to get on the road.

Gary was kind enough to drive us into Gatton to pick up a few essential supplies for the trip. After breakfast with them it was time for departure. We were very grateful for their hospitality and kindness, to say nothing of delivering up a most excellent rig.

By mid-morning we were on our way heading south. It was obvious moving off that there was something quite substantial behind, but the Ford rose to the challenge and we were delighted how well it managed the load. There was a good deal of traffic between Gatton and Toowoomba as well as an interesting steep climb out of the Lochyear Valley.

From Toowoomba we followed the Gore Highway south, joining to Newell Highway into New South Wales.

It was an uneventful trip on a hot day  with lots of traffic and countless semi-trailers until we finally arrived at out overnight stop in a caravan park in at Moree.

Today we covered some 420 kms, a nice easy day's travel.
