Five go off : Homeward Bound

Heading south along the top of the Great Dividing Range from our last camp at Goomeri, the realisation that we would soon be home was hitting us all. Thoughts of a return to our house, work and school weren't always far from our minds. But, we shrugged it off and decided to live in the moment. From Goomeri, we visited Toowoomba, camped at Girraween National Park, and then re-entered New South Wales for our final two weeks at Broken Head.

Years ago we did a three month stint in Toowoomba and loved the parks. They are still there, just as good as ever. Little F was actually enjoying this despite the looks.

In preparation for the Toowoomba flower festival.

We camped at Nobby and had a cold one in Rudd's Pub.

Not sure what would happen here if the thing actually budged.

The orchids were out

When we arrived in Ballina from Tenterfield, for the first time we saw a part of the highway that we drove south on nearly one year ago. We've closed the loop, done the lap, we've been everywhere man. Driving south along that bit of the Pacific Highway one year ago, we were excited about what our big adventure had in store for us. Now, one year on, we are seasoned travellers, experts at reversing long trailers, suntanned, taller and with a very different perspective on life. The excitement that we felt was well justified, and the desire to turn right, go south and just keep on driving was immense. But alas, normal life beckons.

We always planned to end the trip with two weeks just sitting in one spot and relaxing. Broken Head was that place.
