We paid a deposit on our new-to-us spacevan 1.5 weeks ago, then collected it 4 days ago. Bandit has been packed since it arrived on Thursday! Such was his determination not to be left behind that he wouldn't leave the back seat, not even to greet the couriers - or when I was vacuuming!Our departure time was revised more than once but we've run various tests, worked through some minor issues and finally left the driveway at a little after midday - hooray! (Please note my road-trip attire including custom brooch and red dust earrings)!
We stopped at Dalby for a late lunch and got as far as Miles by 5:00pm - 310km from home. The main set-up was done fairly smoothly, once we worked out the site configuration and shuffled to avoid a tree. There was rain forecast, so Nick worked to set up the awning as well. In between those missions, we sizzled sausages on the BBQ and chatted to a nice neighbour.
Our neighbours on the other side were not so nice, causing angst soon after we got out of the car. I was shaky after the encounter and glad we'd put our door side away from their's, to better ignore them for our brief stay. Those difficulties aside, we felt we'd achieved wonderfully on our first day!
Day 1, Home to Miles - 310km
