So, after two weeks of being on the road , we are now on our final leg from Cairns to Brisbane. The final 400ks from Bundy/Mon Repos to Brisbane is fairly easy going. After our late night with the turtles, we had a lie in, and when showering, Marc noticed some gold & green beetles on the door to the bathrooms. These were weird colors and a bit Egyptian like. But before leaving the campsite we parked up so Evelyn can go to the loo, and then when pulling away Marc scraped the underside of the front bumper against the concrete caravan site (caravan no longer there ;) We hope the car company doesn't notice anything, not that there's much to see;)
On our departure, we stopped at the ginger beer factory, and then closer to Brisbane, a spur of the moment decision sees us stopping at the Ginger Factory - its becoming a very gingery day ;) We just really needed a break from driving, so had a quick look around the shop and chuckled at the Chillie Willie sauces what include the Hot Bot, Fire in the Hole, and Aussie Ring Stinger ;) We avoided buying these, and just picked up some yummy ginger biscuits...
Finally we arrive at the airport to drop the car off (no damage reported ;) and when Marc filled up the tank he picked up the premium fuel instead (more expensive) of the standard - Marc says the reason for this was that he chose the standard colour from the UK and didn't realise that the colours differed in different countries, luckily enough he realised after a couple of dollars so didn't come off too bad ;)

We were then picked up by John (We worked with John at Masons). We just managed to squeeze all our luggage in the car, and then headed to his place. On the way home John gave us a quick tour of Bris, which basically covers all the pubs we will be visiting ;) When back home with Sasha, John tells us that their offer on a house has accepted today, which is great news for them, though it seems like it may take a while to sink in!! We're really grateful that they're letting us stay esp. as its going to be so busy for them now. There's so much to chat about having not seen them for a couple of years, and its a bit manic as we're going to Straddie at the weekend for Sasha's birthday, and of course, tomorrow is the first day of the Ashes...
