Wow, what a week! Yesterday (Saturday 08 August 2020) was Mitchell and Alicia’s wedding, so the week prior was just all of that crazy, last minute wedding planning stuff.
Then the wedding yesterday. Did I mention that it was a COVID-19 wedding?
Today (Sunday) Kerri & I left on our road trip from Brisbane to … well, where-ever the road takes us.
The road trip was supposed to be to the Blue Mountains. We originally booked it in May 2020 then cancelled due to border closures. Then when everything started to get back to normal we re-booked it for August … and then cancelled it again.
Now it is a western Queensland road trip instead!
We got away at about 9.30am and headed west – out through Ipswich, on the Toowoomba bypass road, a quick couple of left turns because we missed an exit, through Dalby, Chinchilla and into Miles.
As I’m sure you know, most smaller country towns are pretty dead on a Sunday afternoon, with everything closed. The sight of the day was a cafe in Brigalow advertising “all day breakfast” … except it was closed 🙁
We missed lunch, so we were a little peckish when we arrived in Miles at about 2.30 – just in time for cheese o’clock!
Staying at the Miles Crossroad Caravan Park for the night, the Miles Historical Village is just across the road, so over we went.
We managed to get admitted as “seniors” (we do have National Seniors over 55 cards after all). Not exactly great value – we’ve paid about $150 in subscription fees over the last 3 or so years, and the very first time we have used it we saved ourselves $3 each!
$144 in savings still to be recovered before we break even.
So the trip today was 4 hours and 4 minutes that took us 5 hours with coffee stops and comfort stops. Not too bad going really …
Tomorrow we head towards Mitchell …
Ciao
