Heading the last 300 km into Brisbane today. This was an easy, short drive compared to some of the days we have put in. We took it slow, stopping at around 10:30 at a nice road side picinic spot for a snack and rest. We pulled into the Brisbane Holiday Park at around 12:30 and immediately began to pull stuff out of the van to begin the big sort. It took us several hours to decide on what gets packed where and what has to be left behind. We are fortunate to be able to leave stuff for Andrew and Jadine. A lot of folks we have met, doing similar camping trips, have picked up extra equipment but will have to give it to the Wicked camper guys (a lousy option of you ask me), or find some other campers in the last days to donate the stuff to. There were a couple from Scotland wanting to give us stuff when we were camping in Cairns! We had to say no thanks, we already have enough crap to deal with.
Andrew came over after school and picked us up. We picked up some Thai food and enjoyed a relaxed supper with him and Jadine at their place. We were back at the camp, site relatively early since Andrew had a mid term to prepare for and we knew we were going to spend time with them tomorrow.
Last night in the camper! On the one hand, the time has gone by quickly, or at least it seemed to be running down faster as we approached the end of the trip. On the other hand it seems like we have been on vacation forever. The van has just become a way of life for us, it has been great but I am really looking forward to my own bed and not having to drive anywhere for a while!
