Picked up our new camper, and practiced setting up at the Colton's in Brisbane.
Battery on Cruiser died overnight, replaced by the dealer, then off to Boolimba Falls for our first off grid night!

Went down this road to 9 Mile Beach, couldn't turn around and ended up doing 30+ KMs each way over sand dunes and hills. Had to deflate tyres to 12 psi, towing a 2.5 tonne camper. Locals didn't believe we made it without getting stuckEn savoir plus

Where the fuck are the Camels?
3 décembre 2024, Australie ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C
Camels can’t be relied upon. Ships of the desert and all that,.. I asked them to stay so I could take a photo 10 mînutes later, but they’ve buggered off. Wéve purchased Julie a green sapphire ring from a gem dealer/ manufacturîng jeweller in the town of Sapphire whilst we wait for the Camels to come back.En savoir plus

Under a solid roof for a night, laundry stop and bath to remove two weeks on the road wearing jandels - camp showers just don't cut it when trying to soak off red dust!
