Mooloolaba- farewell to our blog - 3 to 7 April 2012

We had only been able to book a one night site in Mooloolaba as it was Easter.

We had a long drive to Mooloolaba from Yamba with our now nearly perfectly clean Bushtracker.

We went to M on Mooloolaba, a sentimental favorite for dinner, and slept our last night in the caravan.

We put the caravan in store at Kunda Park the next day.

We stayed with Geoff and Sue while we finished our final cleaning and washed our bedding-thank you Geoff and Sue.

We then headed home to the US from Brisbane Airport having completed our goal of traveling on Highway 1 all around Australia.

We took a few detours and it took quite a bit longer than we expected but we had wonderful experiences, met a lot of interesting people and wouldn't have missed it for anything.

We still have a tiny section to do near Halls Gap and the Bungle Bungles where we drove the Gibb River Road rather than taking the Bitumen and we still have to visit Tasmania in our caravan. We are also thinking about the Great Central Road.

However this is fare well from Tricia and John for now.

Southwest Rocks and Yamba – 29 March to 3 April 2012

We have been travelling North quite rapidly.

We had an overnight stop at Southwest Rocks. We like Geppys Restaurant here.

Then on to Yamba, one of our preferred camping sites, where we have a lovely site on the Clarence River.

There are nice Restaurants here also and this makes it a good place to clean the caravan as we can empty out our food storage.  It also has good hot water.

We started cleaning the caravan for our return to the US.  This was very sad as we will be leaving it in store for a long time
