Queensland trip 2017
Our poor caravan got very little use apart for a few overnighters for four years! But eventually we got all safety systems checked and hauled her out on the road for a trip to Cairns! Got a house sitter for our two dogs and cat and hauled the van out on the road. First stop Maclean!

Black Head (near Forster)
Spent two happy/sad nights at Happy Hallidays Park not far from home. The three month caravan of caravan is coming to an end.
By the time we pulled into the driveway at home we had covered 9500 Kms. The Troopy will need another service. Not sure how many of that was towing the van. I suspect about 6-7000. Can check more accurately but I'm too lazy.
We saw so much more detail than we expected to see. The touring included a couple of nights of fairly fine grained hanging out, checking the tourist sites, the shops, the restaurants, the beaches. You get a sense of mood, of local pride. Or just a vibe from other travelers, like us or international visitors.
So. Much. Fun.
Until next time!

Port Macquarie
Had a great time here. Checked out real estate here, it is very attractive. Caught up with P for dinner and L and J at their amazing mountain/bush property for dinner as well. Fabulous times.
Yamba
Had a great two night stay at Yamba. Great spanish restaurant El Pirata, near the Lighthouse, swam, had lunch at the marina, need a boat now, and caught up with my brother on the Wednesday night at the Tavern. Pretty town.
Ballina
The Ballina Lakeside Park accommodated us over Easter, which unfortunately meant that they would not accommodate Louise, our travelling Poodle. Luckily my Dad lives not far away at Lismore and she could stay there. Had a great catch up with him over Easter, my brother and sister in law too, and also swam in some rainy conditions at Lighthouse Beach.
