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.
Way to go Mama Lynne! Hoping tonight’s dinner is a lot more interesting than chickpeas… perhaps baby green peas? lol…….. you’re such an Indiana Jones! We love you lots! Safe travels Mama Lynne and loving your very funny stories keep them coming!
Glad to see you are up and away…. I was just saying to Brian today, wonder how tht Lynny’s gettin on. MWAH. love to read you thoughts as I can hear your voice!! 🙂
