Gismo Queen and her King

Gympie Caravan and RV weren’t even open when we arrived but as soon as we saw someone moving around the yard, we asked if they could open the gate so that Kevin could back the tow truck in and drop off the van. This went smoothly and after completing the paperwork we left them to it. We headed into the main streets of town to meet the others for coffee where we pleasantly wiled away an hour or so in the Brown Jug Cafe. Then we headed to the supermarket and eventually back  to the repair place but it was still another couple of hours before they were  finished. Apparently, it had been very difficult to get the burnt drum off - every part around the drum was destroyed. In the meantime, I had been able to get onto the insurance company and ascertain that they didn’t  need us to keep any of the awning bits so we unloaded them and left them with the RV repair place. By 1pm, we were back on the road so we collected our travelling partners and headed down the highway. It was strange to see so much traffic but it is a long weekend here in Queensland so everyone was clearly heading away. By 3ish we were pulling into our campsite, another privately  run campground on 40 acres which  is completely incongruous to the surrounding  built up areas so close to Brisbane. We have our own secluded site in the bush with cut grass and plenty of firewood. We got the fire going and although  we had planned for a roast tonight, our extended time at the repair place has delayed that until tomorrow. So we enjoyed pasta around the fire before an early night.
