We were up and on the road just after 6:30am again. There were numerous places during the first 5-10km towards Bell that were well under water, so it was a slow start to the trip. We were fortunate that there was a ute in front of us, so we watched him for any unseen potholes or road erosion. The water was mostly fairly shallow, so we made it without any problems.
Our first stop was at Kingaroy, at one of our favourite Maccas (it is right on the main road/highway) and there was a vacant space big enough to park up. Wendy went in was back out with coffees in under 10 minutes. Just what was needed for a wet day on the road.
Back on the road we didn't stop until Puma at Maryborough South for fuel and to have a wee break. We arrived home to a very soggy yard about 11:15am.
It was another tough day on the road due to the persistent rain and the pretty ordinary roads. However, with careful and attentive driving we made it home safe and sound.
Now, we wait out for the weather to do its thing, whilst planning the next phase of our trip around Qld.

Probably took this one a little fast
Bells Bridge; it went under the next day
Hippo Farm after 150mm of rain
Our babies were so excited we were home
The weir at the end of Old Coach Rd, not the highest the water has been
This is what the roughly planned trip map looked like on departure, almost a month ago
This is what we have completed (in red, some of it is hidden by the green)
