We decided that our next stop would be Toogoolawah which is about a 2hr drive from Dalby. The drive was rather interesting travelling through some lovely farmland then back into hilly countryside once we were back on the New England Hwy then branching off onto the D'Agular Hwy where we had the steep decent of the Blackbutt Range we passed quiet a few caravans going the opposite way as this is a popular direct route for travallers leaving the Sunshine Coast to head south down the New England Hwy.
The last four nights we have been stopping at showground inland from the Sunshine Coast, our first night was at Toogoolawah then we had two nights at Woodford and then onto Beerwah. We met up with our long time friends Alison and David at Woodford, it is always great when we get together lots of laughs & fun. Alison decided we needed to experience Costco, it is a membership warehouse which has the best possible prices on quality brand-name merchandise. Not only do they stock food items they also have clothing, camping gear, tyres, jewelery, toys, optical, hearing aides and much much more. Baz did very well to stay the distance usually he will sit outside the shops and wait for me but we did need to take a little rest on the way around. We were also able to taste a few samples in the food area as there a a few demonstrators with tempting morsels. Just so unbelievable what was on offer in one large warehouse! Nothing like it in poor old Tassie. Today we travelled a whole 37klm from Woodford to Beewah we spent a couple of hours exploring the town and catching up on a few jobs.
Tomorrow we say goodbye to Al & Dave and head to the Gold Coast for three nights, unfortunately my shopping mates have already left Southport so will have to do it alone this year.
