Day 8 - Maryborough - Sunday 5th May 2024
Today was really our first day of rest. And we still had jobs to do but we did enjoy lazing in bed with our cuppas and then our breakfast for quite a while. Eventually we got up, enjoying the fact the rain had eased and there was even the odd glimpse of sun to charge our caravan batteries.
When we set off, our first destination was the transfer station, surely the highlight of any touring journey?! - that was to dispose of all the carboard boxes our caravan contents had been delivered in. Then we stopped to pick up coffees for us and Janne and Greg had to get his favourite Queenslander snack for elevenses - a crumbed sausage. After enjoying our cuppa with Janne, we all piled into the Landcruiser for a trip to Bunnings before coming back to her house for lunch. While Greg helped Janne with a few tasks, I did a grocery shop and tried to find a few of the things we had forgotten. This really had to be done today as tomorrow is Labour Day in Queensland and interestingly, most of the shops are closed. It's like Anzac Day or Good Friday down south!
Our jobs all done, we turned to making dinner plans. Given tomorrow's public holiday and most places being closed, we thought we should eat out tonight. The local pub - the Granville Tavern - seemed the go and it turns out half of Maryborough thought so too! It was very busy, and deservedly so as the meals were delicious. A lovely night out catching up with Greg's aunt and relaxing, as one should on holidays.
