The Long Drive Dalby to Wurtulla

Mar 21,22,23

I left Kingsthorpe although a good place to stop for a week or two. I made my way to

 David ‘s place to pick up my Knife that I had left behind. I was able to stay for a few days with power. David was great I cooked him a meal or two although he supplied me with a few goodies.

I had a phone call from my insurance firm sorry but we cannot pay out as your Generator was not locked up securely in your Motor Home. What a load of rot. What about health and safety!

I am leaving David’s home to day making my way to Wurtulla for a Morgan meet on Sunday, Joe is lending me his +4 for the day what a gem he is.

I drove past Lake Clarendon Reserve a good night spot I had lunch there while talking to a grand old couple I was quite amused when I found out they were younger than I was.

Then I took the road through Esk past the reservoir which was full, a really wonderful drive.

At  Wurtulla the start.

The start of our run

Coffee on the waters edge

Arrived at Joe and Marge’s home excellent coffee and buns were served. We were just setting off on our run and Joe’s +8 ignition light came on, so I gave him a lift in his car a +4 it was fun a well kept car went extremely well the only problem was that we had to keep slowing down to let the others catch up we did have a slight hiccup at first a few stragglers got left behind at a junction. The horns sounded Joe and my self thought we were all lined up to go alas it were the passers by tooting. We waited for the lost few and off we went after a few phone calls.The run was well thought out and organized, Joe and Marge even provided good coffee at the look out for us all.

We had a lovely run driving around beautiful country side passing through Buderim, Eudlo, Mooloolah Valley, Mount Mellum, Peachester, Kenilworth, Mapleton, Flaxton, some roads we had to avoid as they were flooded out I think I can sure say we all had a great time.


I stayed the night at Joe &  Marge's home which was a big bonus as I could plug in to power and down load my blog. I am so lucky to have such fantastic frineds all over Australia
