Hitting the road today, albeit not far but still hitting the road.

The really lovely couple at Bronelea Holiday Apartments let me store my stuff there until I got the camper.Got to Travellers Auto...

It's a beautiful vibrant clean and friendly city with the best weather and absolutely the best suburban beaches in Oz. Today was go lie on the beach day.
