Well this is the first weekend, our mate, has been able to get his van this year, due to medical reason, and it was great to be able to spend a relaxing weekend aay with Steve and Mellinda

We here going to be heading down on the friday, but the Weather Gods decided it was going to let go that FRiday, and dump some incredible amout of rain. So we eneded up leaving on the Saturday morning, much safer than trying to drive down the back road in during those rains.
Even though we left in pouring  rain, as we arrived at the property, it started to ease up, and by mid afternoon, it was clear blue skies, with a magnifiocent sunset.

Steve and Melinda had a bit of a slower run up the H'way from Brisbane due to traffic, and also due to Brisbane being let out of a small lockdown, we basically spent the afternoon just relaiing  and catching up.
