I was so keen to get moving but I haven’t achieved much.
Because the fitting of the insect screens took far longer than I expected, I didn't pick up the van until after 2pm. I didn’t want to have another round of saying goodbye and
setting out again so I went all the way to Ipswich (45 minutes) and stayed with
cousin Carmel over night.
The next day I drove to Toowoomba (about an hour) and
visited former colleagues – Nan Kucks for morning tea and lunch, then Margaret Kreis in the
afternoon. Another hour on the road and I reached Goombungee and had two nights with Cecily and Murray, arriving just in time for dinner with their neighbours. Cec and I had a couple of short chats over the two days and I ended up leaving well into the afternoon.
As it happens my niece Rachael lives a couple of hours down the road at Stanthorpe. Her parents, my brother Terry and sister-in-law Karen happened to be visiting so we had another short chat. Rachael and Dallas live on the outskirts of town in a quiet street, so I parked there and stayed overnight.
That was night four and I was still in Queensland. I made a quick trip the next day over the border into New South Wales.
