As we have found work in Cairns for a while and seeing as we have rented a unit, PI our trailer has been hanging out in the carport, so we decided to take him back to the Sunshine Coast, visit our families, and surprise my brother at his 30th Party! We had 7 days to get there, have fun and be back again to start work the next day.
Magnum gave a 'little' groan when we put the trailer back on, but he took it well |

Systems check...all clear... |
So off we went in the wee hours of the morning...past the Big Frog on the Banana
Past the other big banana
We got stuck behind several large loads, the largest of which was 6m across...very interesting listening to the chatter it causes on the radio...but was great to get the heads up when a big one was coming in the other direction... They were great to piggy back through the multitudes of road works out there at the moment, as they clear the road for them, we were just in front of one that was so heavy it couldnt stop on any sort of incline, so they just clear everything out of its way, he didnt stop for anything...was great!
Then we headed past the Big Pizza Eating Tucan
To the new "Big Hot Water Service" near Gympie!
After many hours of driving, some terrible food poisoning, which waylayed us for a few hours!
We are almost home!
To be greeted by my our baby Hugo xx
Who wasnt too sure about us at all!
Then we had a day to catch up, drop the trailer off, get some stuff from out of our container at Mum and Dads place, and then to the SURPRISE Mexican Party!

A Sleepy Mexican...yes that is a real moustache! |

We went out for dinner with the family, which was a nice goodbye and then back to Cairns!
We drove straight through this time, luckily without any incident... We were greeted by the cane fires when we got close to Cairns
So we had a nice break and now back to the saving for the next leg of the trip...
