Finally on our way.

Thursdaymorning, 2 January 2008, everything packed, the house clean, we are
on our way out west. We headed towards Eidsvold and from there to
Mundubbera. When we left we discovered that the wheelnuts on the caravan
have a non-standard size. We dont have a fitting key for them. So whenever
we get a flat tyre, we won't be able to get the wheels off. TROUBLE !! We
stopped at every garage/hardwarestore/tyrerepair on our way to get the right
key. No success. So we had to call the Coromal dealer and he will send one
to the Chinchilla post office. We will wait there till monday to pick it up.
In the meantime we pulled over after a quiet drive in Mundubbera, at a
restarea called "The black stump". A restarea is just what it says: a
parkingarea next to the road where you can park your caravan and rest. There
is one major difference to the dutch "parkeerplaatsen" : this one has a free
gas bbq; 230V powerconnection; toilet, water and a magnificent view over the
countryside.
We will stay here overnight and travel on tomorrow in the direction of
Chinchilla.
