We went for a drive to Hervey bay on Friday, it didnt seem too far away but driving it seemed to take forever. We changed drivers a couple of times and stopped for lunch.
It was a nice day for driving cool in the car anyway with the a/c on with a few drops of rain which of course turned to full on showers when it was my time to drive.
we left home about 10.45 am and did a detour into the Sunshine coast as you do, there was a van to look at and we were there early. That was one that i liked it had been painted white inside and had new flooring but Warren found dampness and as it was a wooden frame said a loud NO.
We had lunch at Gympie or as the GPS says Jimpie at Maccas. i thought we had been there before but no it had been HJ's we had stopped at as the parking at Maccas was terrible. I drove from there and it was very ark ward to get out of the park and then there was a stop sign, luckily some one let me out, which was good of them.
Arrived at Hervey Bay at 3.15 pm, phew what a drive. Nice place though, we had a drink at the beach before returning home. I wanted a coffee but the coffee places were all closed by the time we got there.
Home at 8.15 pm to a very happy doggie who was waiting patiently for us, after all it was three hours past her dinner time. We had scrambled eggs for dinner.
We have to go back again in late January but we will be better prepared, we thought it was only a couple of hundred kilometres but in actual fact it is 250 kms and a lot of the way was road works so had to slow to 80, 60 and even 40 kms in some places.
