Farewell morningFarewell morningFarewell morning

All the boys at Creek Ave...baby Angus was asleep!
We finally have the new van after nine months and lots of planning, we are extremely happy with everything and it tows like a dream.
Our time in Brisbane has been great to catch up with all the family and welcomming the new Grandson Angus.

We left Brisbane on Wednesday 21st via the Boroma factory (for some additional items) then proceded to our first stop at Stanthorpe.

The Top of Town Caravan park at Stanthorpe is very good and the new ammenities ar first class, although we do not require them as we have our own bathroom.....the new shower is quite large big enough for two!

Stanthorpe is well known for fruit growing and making wine, the town folk are all frendly but nobody knows how to make a good flat white.

We found a good fruit shop about ten minutes out of town, the owner was hilarious and would brighten anybodys day he had a loud laugh which sounded like a cackle which made us all laugh. We walked out with six bags of fruit and veg including some free bits and peices they kindly gave us....all excellent quality and cheap.

We head off tomorrow
