Day 1 - 2/6/2016 - Bundaberg to Springsure
We were finally setting off on a trip that was a number of years in the making and also catching up with family from all over the country. 7 years ago our first trip in the Pajero was a loop through western QLD, then across to Cairns and back down the coast to home. At that time there were a few things that we didn’t get a chance to see and vowed that we would be back. Well 7 years and a lot of kilometres later, we were finally going to get a few more places ticked off the bucket list. We were also timing/planning the trip to coincide with the Finke Desert rally in Alice Springs, (which was a highlight from a trip 4 years ago), so we had a lot of kilometres to do in a small amount of time in order to meet a few deadlines.

On the road again! |
So the first few days were just going to be big driving days.

After a number of attempts from multiple trips, we finally managed to get a high speed shot of the cut out hill just outside of Bauhinia |

Rolleston rest area - Make sure you keep your horse out! |
For this nights stop we were staying at our usual spot, the Springsure show grounds. We had it pretty much to ourselves.
