Early wake up - 3.30am and on the road by 4.30am to make the final run to Cairns with the aim to arrive before dark.
Chuck's early morning quote was as we leave the caravan park of Clermont - "Look no fog." As we turn in to the main street what are we met with is another morning of fog. Luckily this was not as thick as the previous day and lifted rather quickly.
A short stop two hours in for a quick cuppa and two hours later we arrived at Charters Towers. Following a refuel of vehicles it was on to Townsville and then up to Ingham for a little bit of seafood and a rather generous serving of chips.
After leaving Ingham the rain started and followed us on and off up the coast to Cairns. After a rather long journey we rolled into the Cool Waters Caravan Park around 4.30pm.
Camp set up by the creek and the long wait started for the girls to arrive. Unfortunately their plane at Albury and then Sydney were delayed due to the weather. With luck on their side and on one of the last planes out of Sydney before the curfew they arrived at camp at 1.30am on Saturday morning.
