We tried to make a go of it but things got in the way and I am back to Plan B which is going north for the winter and south in the summer. Not perhaps the best outcome but it would be hard to see me camping 4 nights a week based on the Gold Coast indefinitely, not the main reason but looking for another plus for going north.
So the plan is to set off for Gympie tomorrow morning and steadily northwards thereafter. I will be in no hurry and would like to catch up with GNs who are in the general area, perhaps Townsville in August will be the furthest north before going inland and starting back down to arrive in Victoria in December.
Would like to stay longer in the one place this trip looking for fellowship/sightseeing and to stretch out the petrol costs. No more 1000kms in 2 days as happened whilst returning to the Gold Coast last month.
Howdyeeeee young fella , We r off to Cairns tomorrow , got some work to do on the star ship then off to Normanton, then down to Mt Isa, then drop down through Longreach to Blackall, then Millmerran,to the cook out festival, in early October, if U in the Vicinity might catch up ,,suck on a few dobbies,,,,???.. stay excited Nomads,,,,,,tomorrow can b the best day of our lives,,,We choose,!!!!!!!!,,,,,,,,,,,,Billeeeeeeeee
John, I'm sorry things didn't work as hoped. Plan B sounds pretty good though. Enjoy your travels and I hope you check out some more NSW sites on your way through. Your reports and photos of camps and places are as good as any I've seen. Take care.
I'm sure you'll balance it all just right. Don't forget to take your time. You've done the big lap, now you have to fill in the centre. Sounds like you have a plan. Good for you.

Good to always have a plan B maybe catch up some where. I will probably be at Toocumwal over xmas Gave up the Tasie idea in favor of more solar panels Dawa
Good on ya John and thanks for leaving your comment on our blog.
We may cross paths as once we leave Mataranka, then down to the Isa, up to Normaton then across to Cairns. Do the family thing till it starts getting humid, and then its off to who knows where southbound for the summer. Yahooooooo!!!!!!!
Hope to catch up somewhere.
Cheers & beers
Paul & Wendy

Hello John Heading off to Gin Gin Tuesday then Biggenden, then Gympie so I will keep an eye out, and you cant miss the Dun Wurkun on the van Ken
Hi Ken,
In Chatsworth Park near Gympie tonight and expect to go to Tiaro tomorrow Monday so Tuesday at Gin Gin is doable, there are two Camps6 entries for Gin Gin #118 the Rest Area and #119 the Showgrounds but I will avoid the latter in favour of the free camp.
Just be careful on the road John. Lots of roadworks and potholes. Went down the Childers to Torbanlea yesterday. A bit rough. Was on the Childers to Gin Gin the other day, ended up detouring a back road to get off the Bruce. Very uneven surface and heaps of crawling traffic.
