Day 65 Tuesday 11/8/2026, Gin Gin to Maryborough, sunny

It’s a bright clear morning, cool but not cold, yet the car fridge has become a freezer and is down to minus 3.

As we leave town kangaroos are mowing the park, gosh they do a good job.

A truck calls us on the CB, oh bugger, we’ ve got a window flapping and curtains waving at the traffic, any wonder we were a bit cold last night.

Farms flank the highway, sugar, mango, avocado and macadamia orchards. We’re back in that Bundy fruit bowl.

It’s quiet when we check into the Maryborough Showgrounds. Once we’ve got set up completed we dash into town for another of those delicious Banh Mi from the French Bakery. We sit on a stone wall in the park and munch contentedly.

We need 3 things from Aldi, but I stay in the car while Woody shops. I know that he’ll check everything in the centre aisle and every other aisle too. Sure enough he ‘s got a full bag in each hand, I’ll be grateful for the delights he has found.

It’s a warm afternoon and as we chase the shade around the van, we notice that there’s a small crumple in the back corner of the caravan. “Some bugger has nudged us”, says Woody.

Dinner is lamb chops, asparagus, peppers and pumpkin.
