Gidday all,

On the road again, decided to leave the heat of North Queensland behind and we are heading back to Tasmania.

Left on the 4^th of December and headed south. Called into some friends in Carmilla and Hervey Bay then met up with my sister Janice and Mark at Wongi state forest for a day. We parted ways, they headed northish and we went west. Went to Biggenden, then Mundubbera, south to Dalby and over to St. George, then south to Hebel and crossed over into NSW. Mind you that took us 3 days.

Now sitting just north of Coonamble. The weather is still hot, went through a couple of massive dust storms, big winds out on the plains.

Have got a few weeks before we sail off so will meander through NSW and Victoria, hope it gets cooler soon.
