In a few minutes I'll be out of Queensland - not something I am usually keen to do. But I am heading for a place called Ocean Shores in northern New South Wales. Yesterday I didn't get far. I hadn't planned to. I wanted to spend the night with my best friend, my cousin Carmel in Ipswich. And that meant probably my last really comfortable bed for a while.

This has been the first test of my packing. So far nothing has come adrift or started flying around the van so that part is good. Over the next few days I know I'll find things that should be better located. In fact, I know already that the little space where I usually put my handbag isn't easily accessible but I haven't worked out what to do about it yet. I really want to have everything close but of course that is impossible. With the multi-charger, at least I have the phone, the iPad and the GPS all within reach - and charged.
I had forgotten about Daylight Saving in the southern states though I'm not sure whether I have just lost or gained an hour - not that it matters when I don't have any time constraints. Maybe in a couple of days I'll be ready to jettison my watch and just go by the Lord's time. In the meantime, I'll hit the road again and decide where to stop tonight.
So happy to hear you have finally hit the road! Nothing more will go wrong with the van. That is optimism speaking loudly. :)
