Cacking my pants all the way, I drove from Brissie to Stanthorpe where I’ve stopped in the Top of the Town Caravan Park. Lovely place nestled among the trees and huge. Because I was on my own, I was only charged $20 a night. Freaking bargain!
These things I have learned already –
– buy your food when you get the chance otherwise you’re at your overnight stop, you’re tired and the shops are not that close. A can of chickpeas is not an interesting dinner.
– you need to walk a lot when you drive a truck. The parking spots for trucks are far, far away from anywhere you want to go.
– and remember that when you drive a truck , you’re bigger (and better) than everyone else.
Haa, it’s been interesting. I’ve also learned how to hook up to all the services and even filled my water tank today.
Plus, I am now a true nomad. When I arrived here yesterday afternoon, I set up Betty then had happy hour starting at 4pm, dinner was at 5.30 pm and I was in bed and out like a light by 7pm!
Shall look at the maps now to see where I might rest my head tomorrow night. Thought I’d try a spot of free camping.
