Day Two


Well we have had an exciting day today, left Kumbia and was a few Ks down the road when I realised I had programmed the wrong town into the GPS and we were heading the wrong way. Well having no set plans we continued and eventually went through Dalby, Cecil Plains, and finished at Walpole Park in Millmerrin where we spent the afternoon with a solo traveller and later joined by another couple. The exciting part was the arrival of a male person in a car who was obviously intoxicated/drugged and continued to spend the rest of the afternoon in the camp site. Long story but local from across the road got involved because of their concern at his behaviour. He eventually sped out of the camp site nearly collecting a motorhome and promptly lost control of the car and almost crashed back into the camp site before speeding off around town and then toward Cecil Plains. Police were promptly informed and last we knew police, ambulance and fire brigade were seen travelling hastily towards Cecil Plains. We can only assume this idiot has become another statistic.

The whole episode has shaken Wendy and the solo lady up a bit but we were actually in no danger and hopefully we will get a good nights sleep. A big thanks to local Jim who kept calling into the campsite to ensure our safety and keep us informed on what was happening.

Off tomorrow to catch up with our travelling companions a bit further down the track.
