Road trip day one

We packed the car yesterday and left bright and early on the way.  We got to the next suburb, and found DS's wallet left in the car.  Nothing we could do but backtrack and toss it to him (he was sleeping in!).  He owes us one - no wallet, no ID, no ATM card and going to Adelaide on Sunday?  He was close to us having to post it back to him!

Going through Cunningham's Gap the road had subsided, and was only one way in sections.  We have had way too much rain!  The cloud was shrouding the mountain tops which is NOT a promising sign for a camping trip!  By the time we got to Tenterfield the showers started.  When we made it to Glen Innes to pitch camp for the night the clouds were low and dark, and the thunder was beginning to rumble.  We had that tent up very fast!

It was a very wet evening!  Thankfully the park where we stayed had a fully functioning kitchen which we could access, and we were right to cook for ourselves without eating out (being economical here!)  The dogs ended up a bit damp and cold, and spent most of the time in their crate wrapped in towels to keep warm.
