The dash home, what a ride. We made South Australia after over 12 hours of driving. It was late and raining when we pulled up to park. I fell in the mud but it was so late and so cold, I was happy to wash off with some baby wipes. 🙂
A couple the dresses the same… Needs to look for a matching shirt for the puppy. 
The rest of the trip, well, it was simply driving to meet deadlines. We did our best with Cooper who was under three months old at that stage and incredibly active as most Border Collie X Kelpie puppies are, but she did well.
We made each border crossing in the nick of time. Didn’t see much activity at the SA and NSW crossing but it picked up when we got to Qld.
We did need to change out a bearing before the NSW crossing giving us an hour or two to spare.
We finally made it to Qld and stayed just outside of Cunnamulla. It was such a lovely park and the lady advised us that the park will be closed tomorrow. Shame but even though we made the state, we were still about a 16 hour drive home or one free camp away. 😊

In Qld now. 
Missed the gums but were surprised at how green Qld was.

Waiting for me to get going… 
The focus they share.
One thing that surprised us was how incredibly green Queensland was. Then again, we did have to change our travel plans to ensure we didn’t get stuck on muddy tracks or get caught up with road closures as the western rivers broke their banks.
We were a little worried about going home and potentially bringing covid with us. My folks had that covered. Upon arrival, we nicked up the side of the house, washed our shoes in a bucket of soapy water – put out by our folks, put our clothes straight into the machine and showered. We were then starting our two weeks of self iso and also able to get a hug from mum and dad. We weren’t required to self isolate, but like I said, we didn’t want to bring covid home.
I do want to say a big thanks to those that droped off groceries, fresh bread, milk as well as beer and wine. Honestly, we were pretty spoilt.
