Day 37 Hughenden

---

---

Only 112 Km today. Pleasant drive but a dramatic arrival into town with the caravan brakes ceasing on the first corner. After talking to a busy mechanic and getting no joy were greatly helped by a lovely young man called Andrew from the hardware store. He lent us his phone to call RACQ and then left the phone with us for them to call back. He also found a mobile mechanic who came and discovered that the emergency brake cable had wriggled out and this is what caused the problem and allowed it to be instantly remedied. No charge!!! We were greatly relieved to say the least.
