Sunday, April 4.
Well quite a lot has happened since last posting something on the blog.
The day after we arrived back in Brisbane, we headed off down to Sydney to collect "our new van".
Friday saw us at the van dealership all geared up to collect what we thought would be our home for the next, how long. What a disappointment. Oh the van was there, however, not what we expected. The bike would fit length ways but left NO room to access the sides to tie it down. We left there very disappointed and without the van.
We took three days to get back to Brisbane and wonder what to do next. Spending some time with friends allowed us to rehash what we were going to do. Finally we have found a trailer builder who will build us a van to our specifications and at a cheaper price. He has a very good reputation and spent hours going over our plans with us. It will take until early June to complete so it's just hurry up and wait.
In the mean time, we are spending some time at the Gold Coast in a unit owned by Helen's sister. We have plans to be in Ballina for the Wing Club AGM on the weekend of 10/11 April then the Celtic Festival at Glenn Innes on the May Long weekend.
Until next we converse

Stay well

Regards

Col & Helen.
