Strathpine Showgrounds, QLD

Aaaaand we're back!

Currently in Strathpine whilst I finish up my medical appointments after surgery, then we'll be leaving Queensland and heading south away from the heat and humidity.

It has been SO hot.These Queenslanders are tough, tough, tough! The aircon in the van has been working at full speed to keep my British cheeks cool.

Coco the Pug is now back home under the watchful eye of the RSPCA, who will ensure she gets the medical treatment she needs and demand she has better living conditions. Poor little tyke. Human beings can be such a'holes to their dogs. All she wanted was a bit of attention and to be part of the family. Dick liked Coco but I think he'll be relieved he's getting his bed back and won't have to share anymore.

So, we'll aim to head south over the border into NSW (again) and the coast, via Tamborine Mointain and Wooyung on the east coast. The showgrounds we're staying at next have a creek with platypus and turtles so we're a bit excited.

Update: saw the surgeon today. He told me off. We're not going anywhere for a week or two. He's threatened another stay in hospital with antibiotics intravenously via the biggest needle he can find, if I don't do the bed rest thing. Booooooooooring 💩.

Might put one of those on his doorstep.Read more
