Day 9 - Pimpimbungee to Goomeri

Pack up was a little different this morning - it was all about securing our broken awning bits and pieces to the roof of the Landcruiser! Given how long the awning itself is, placement was important to still allow for sharp turns of the caravan. So we taped it closed, then put it in the middle of the roofracks and secured it very well with ratchet straps. Then there was the broken awning arms, and just for good measure, a bag of firewood. We were on the road by 10am, but our first  stop for the dumpoint was only 30km down the road where we also had elevenses - and checked all the ratchet straps! On the road again for the 100km to Goomeri where we have chosen the Goomeri Bush Camp for our overnight stay. It’s a great location, with manicured grass, scenic bush, rock rimmed fire places and not too many other vans. We were set up in time for lunch and then had a very quiet afternoon in the sun reading etc with the most activity a hair cut for Greg. Five of us did go for a short walk in the late afternoon before we lit the fire and got ready for dinner, which was a delicious pork dish courtesy of Jude. It got cool very quickly so the fire was much needed. This was the view of our camp in the late afternoon from the roof of the landcruiser - note the awning strapped down the middle!
