Day23 - Desert Trip 2010

Another early morning as I left Mitchell just after 7 am. As I got
close to Roma and finally got some Optus phone signal, I got an SMS
from Brett saying they were in Roma. So after getting into Roma and
refueling I contacted Brett and found they had just about packed up
(the wimps had spent the previous couple of nights in cabins) so we
caught up and had some brekky. They refueled and as we were leaving
Roma we had to stop for a Random Breath Test as they were testing all
the cars leaving Roma to the east. Then we had a nice easy drive,
until just east of Dalby we saw Ron heading west in his Jackaroo. Leon
called him up and we stopped for a 15 min chat. Then it was onto
Toowoomba where we stopped for a quick lunch at Maccas. Leon took us
through the back streets of Toowoomba in what was supposed to be a
short cut. Then it was an easy drive in towards Brisbane until the
Logan Motorway where I peeled off to head home to the Gold Coast
leaving Brett, Leon and Ryan to head home to Brissy. I refueled at
Mudgeeraba and got home about 4:30 pm. I took me an hour or two to
unpack the car, then a shower and a quick bite saw me going to bed
pretty early as I had to go to work the next morning.
