Sunshine Coast to Dalby (Natural Sciences Loop)

Friday 1 April 2016 – 166 347

Our intentions for this trip were to see some of South Western Queensland, but primarily to learn our setup (2007 Toyota Prado Diesel with 2004 Jayco Dove Outback) and discover what works and what we wish to change before our long trip later in the year. After leaving home mid-afternoon we went to the service station to check tyre pressures – just as well as they required pumping, particularly the spare tyres which were very low.  We then went to the weigh station to see how our packing arrangement worked out – we needed to move some of the weight further back in the camper trailer, but otherwise it was all good.  There is plenty of room and weight to spare in the car. We then drove to Dalby and stayed at the Dalby Tourist Park.  We left the camper trailer connected to the car – plus side of this is basic set up and food heating in the microwave within thirty minutes, down side is Waeco is hard to get at.
