First few days

Well, after a 4.30am pack on Sun night/Mon morning and a 11am departure, we made it to the Gold Coast by 11 Monday night.
Still have a few things to get done, few little electrical things like wire up some new LED bars, sort out a place for the Thumper in the toolbox, put up some inside curtains so we can leave the outside ones unzipped and open from inside if required, buy a couple of camping odds and ends but it has at least begun.

Stayed at the Tallebudgera Creek Tourist Park (called forward on the drive to book a cabin cause didn't really feel like setting up at 11pm) and thought it was a very nice campground although didn't really get much time there with visits to Dreamworld and Seaworld as well as a few hours in Surfers.

Dropped the truck into Gold Coast 4WD in Nerang for a service and a thorough going over prior to heading further north. Great service and Ben was straight up and down with what was happening and the truck was returned going better than ever.

We have moved to Brisbane and are staying a couple of nights to catch up with family and friends before heading further north for a visit to Australia Zoo and then onto Fraser for a few nights which is where I'm hoping it will feel more holiday like but since Trish and I are really keen to get further north we'll have to wait and see.

Weather nice, coolish nights but very nice days so far but then that's why loads of folk move here I guess.

Am using an ExplorOz mapping app on phone so you can check out where we are (when I remember to log it) can be found here CLICK FOR MAP Will be boring for a while as it'll be a few straight lines but once out of built up areas will see if we can run it live.

Will attempt to update as often as I can time permitting and may even work out how to add some pictures!
