Ian & Lindah in the Brisbane Mall

 Thursday-Continued our journey arriving at the Newmarket Garden Caravan Park in Brisbane  about lunch time. Nerve-racking journey in peak hour traffic to collect Ian from airport Thursday evening.
Friday- Relaxing tea with a couple of beers/wine at the van.


Us in the Mall in Brisbane




Saturday-Caught bus then train to the Brisbane Showground and spent a long day checking out the vans and accessories. Another train and bus ride back home. Spent a very amusing evening with Ivan and Cindy, the 6 of us enjoyed dinner, drinks and a game of cribbage. A bundle of laughs!!!

Us on the one of the bridges over the Brisbane River

Sunday-  Quick visit back to Caravan Show for Ian & Lindah while we found a Bunnings for some minor plumbing gear. Job well done! Lunch in Brisbane City and we checked out some local attractions. Tea with Lindah's sister Tania at Cafe 63, Ascot. Lovely meal, nice company!

Van at Newmarket Gardens Caravan Park


Monday- Stress levels were high, no planes flying today to Tassie! Spent the morning catching up on washing and fixing one air mattress that somehow?? had sprung a leak. Spent a couple of hours finding and exploring Ikea, a massive home furnishing store.
Cindy and Ivan joined us at the van for tea and drinks, another wonderful, enjoyable evening was had by all!
Tuesday- Packed up and departed Brisbane, dropping Ian & Lindah off at Ascot as we passed through. Lunch at Golden Beach, travelled up the Sunshine Coast to Gympie. No room there to stay so continued on to Tiaro and parked on a grass verge opposite Rest Area for some much needed sleep!
