Heading the Wrong Way


We went to Melbourne for the football today, heaps of vanners on the road, heading north. They have the right idea. Will be us one day.

They're probably heading north to see some proper football wink

(that'll stir 'em up)

All heading to sunny Qld. I rang the Elliot heads CP yesterday to get prices. He said plenty of room at the moment but won't stay that way as the grey nomads are on their way. I said Yes I know, I'm one of them.

I'm heading south from Moranbah, currently resting at Dubbo. I had 2 nights at Dalby, and it rained there all night last night.
I was surprised at the number of vans on the road already, mostly heading north, with a mix of registration plates.
Oh, the A Vanners from across Aust are heading to Maroochydore for a gathering. There were about 15 SA "A Team" in Dalby last night, but there will be 250 at the Sunshine Coast event.
Now that would be something to behold. I have taken pictures but haven't downloaded them yet.
I've been too busy driving and bouncing, and now I'm too tired.
The roads are rough and there is a lot of roadworks to negotiate. If you're travelling this way, just take your time.

CG, where did you stay your two nights at Dalby. I didn't see any good freecamps when I came through the other week, or did you use a c/p? and where.

Hi HW, thought I would let you know that if you do head out to Elliott Heads C/Pk don't pick site #99 - right next to the bins!! Other than that loved the place!!

Seems like thousands of vans and motor homes are on the road heading north on the Stuart Highway! And a good percentage of them have Victorian number plates.

 I remember years ago it was said the the best thing to come out of Victoria was the Hume Highway.

(I wonder if that'll work, the football post didn't confuse)

I didn't free camp in Dalby, I stayed in the Tourist Park by the river.
I only free camp with the truck along the way to the delivery destination.
There are plenty of free campers out there though.
