Lulu's almost ready for her maiden trip!

I was at the Caboolture markets at the showgrounds this morning and noticed that there were no caravans there. There was a sign there that said the showgrounds were closed to camping from 24 April until 29 June. Redcliffe showgrounds which are fairly close by are still open for camping.
