Back on the Bruce Highway to Townsville. Can't get over how happy I was not to be walking :)


One thing that was really lucky about hiring the car... It was BRAND NEW! Honestly, the clock had 1500KM on it!! Really good value. Cost $270 all in for 3 days with complete insurance. Really thought it was a good deal because it was holiday season... Even getting a car to hire was a job alone - most places all booked out. Thrifty was the hire company I got mine from.


Something that always helps on a journey like this, is to put petrol in your car... It's been this way for centuries, and it won't change. You'd pass a fuel point maybe every 50/100 KM. Getting plenty coffee in is always a good idea. Love coffee.


Something there is no shortage of, on the Bruce highway, is large trucks with steelwork onboard. Most of this stuff looked mining related, now there's a big surprise!


First thing I encountered on the road of out Brisbane was some bikers. These guys drove real good. Go Biker dudes!
