Rally Is Over

Well here it is a week later and you have probably have noticed that I haven't been keeping the blog up to date. We have been flat out at the rally, supposedly having  break but that is not how it worked out.

We were parked just two sites away from our good friends from Gin Gin, Alan and Maizie and just down the row were Keith and Silvia from Toogoolawah (?) while Alan and Maureen got into the site late and were right across the paddock from us about 800metrs away. We had a good time at the rally meeting up with old friends and people we had met on the road during this trip. There never seemed to be enough time in the day.
After a total debacle in my seminar not being on the program it was slotted in and was very successful from the feedback I received. I spend the next two days loading data onto to GPSs and got no time to ourselves.

We have escaped today back to Longford Showgrounds where we have done the washing and  having a rest but not sure how much rest there will be as there are about 30 motorhomes on site and it is like a mini rally all over again. Heard today the Ivan and Hazel Woolmer have had vehicles trouble and had to return to the Big Island to have things fixed. We haven't seen them since we came over on the same boat together.

We have parted company with Allan and Maureen with them going north and us going south to the Lakes District, will probably meet up on the ferry as we are both booked on the same day  unless we bump into (not literally I hope) on the road.


We have four weeks to go now until we embark for the Main Land and the weather is getting a little cooler, hopefully we will see a little of Autumn before we leave but these winds are a bit hard to take, particularly when they like to go straight through you and not around you.

Just to show you how big the rally was I am enclosing a photo to give you some idea, hear various figures but about maximum of 940 on site.
