Had little bit of a sleep in before getting up to finish packing the car around 06:30. It took longer than I had thought to get the spare wheel tied unto the roof rack so I didn't end up leaving until about 08:00. A quick stop to fuel up at Mudgeeraba and then I headed north before turning off at Logan motorway and heading toward Toowomba. The traffic was pretty minimal and what there was disappeared around Dalby. I stopped in Chinchilla for some lunch and to top up the car around noon. Then it was onto Miles where I turned north to Taroom. Just past Taroom I turned off on the Fitzroy Development Road heading for Bauhinia and hit the first gravel road for the trip. It was in pretty good condition but I could see where there had been a bit of mud from previous rain.
I had planned on staying in Bauhinia but I still had an hour of daylight left so I pushed onto Rolleston. I checked into the caravan park and set up the awning, stretcher and swag before having a hot shower.
Then it was off to the pub for an excellent dinner of pork chops before relaxing for awhile. Back at the car it was getting chilly as there were no clouds and a cool breeze was blowing, so I climbed into the swag to keep warm, type up this blog and have an early nights sleep after a day of driving.
