Taking our Fiver from Storage to Broadwater Tourist Park - for packing.
We picked up our Fiver about 9:00am and took it back to Broadwater Tourist Park. We did about 3 trips back and forth to our Apartment.
Our only downside of living in an apartment is that you haven't got a front yard to store and pack/unpack it. Hence our 2 days at our local CP.
By Tuesday night, my old mountain bike was tied onto its frame on the Fiver.
Wednesday we did more trips and we slept the night in our Fiver.
Tomorrow, we leave for Chinchilla Tourist Park.
Broadwater TP to Chinchilla Tourist Park.
- Daily distance travelled with fiver: 343kms
At 4:05am Thursday morning, we heard a loud noise outside. I got up and walked outside in my nightshirt (what a sight).
I thought that someone was trying to steal Marg's chair but it was chained to the Fiver. I didn't look at the bike, as it is well and truly connected to its frame plus the top bar is 7 feet or more above ground. So I went back to bed, got up about 7am, went outside and my F.....G bike was gone.
I was in a state of shock and still can't believe it.
We left Broadwater at 9:16am.
We headed along the M1 towards Brisbane, before turning left onto the Logan motorway and headed West.
The Toowoomba range is probably longer than Cunningham Gap, it appears to go on forever. Stopped a couple of times for a pitstop.
We arrived at Chinchilla Tourist Park at 3:17pm.
Tomorrow, we head for Rolleston Caravan Park.

We headed along the Warrego Hwy until Miles , when we turned right onto the Leichhardt Hwy, stopping at Banana (yes it is a real town) for fuel and had lunch. Before heading along the Dawson Hwy to Rolleston.
We sort of got lost, did a U turn and continued on the correct route. (I told you that this trip was our shakedown trip).
We finally arrived at Rolleston CP and both relaxed. We had many rest stops, so it wasn't that tiring.
We arrived at Rolleston Caravan Park at 4:29pm.
Tomorrow, we head for Blue Gem Tourist Park.
Rest stop at Guluguba.
Not much there.

We didn't stop along the way.
We setup the Fiver with power, water, half the awning and the Satellite Dish, connected Foxtel and VAST. We can't rough it too much.
