Our stay at Duaringa let us catch up on school work, laundry and general housekeeping. Not to mention finding a power point and catching up on some internet time, unfortunately we forgot to update the blog.
As we were about to leave for Blackdown, we found we had an electrical short in the tail lights, or the adaptor between the landcruiser and trailer. I tried for 1 ½ hours and several fuses to fix the so-and-so but could not find the problem. I still have blinkers and stop lights and not night-driving so we'll continue on to Blackdown with problem unsolved until we get to Rocky. I'll sort the problem out after I make a new electrical adaptor rather than trust a store bought one again.
On a better note, met a bloke by the name of Mick while at Duaringa. He and Shell set up a hub at the picnic table connecting two laptops and three external hard-drives so Shell could copy some movies and music from him. Mick had something like 30,000 songs and a couple hundred movies, kid's and adult alike. He was one of those characters that at first sight, look a little dubious, but once met turn out to be real nice blokes, just goes to show, you can't judge a person at first glance.
We also met a couple of ladies in motorhomes camped next to us. We enjoyed their company so much, we invited ourselves to dinner with them at the local golf club.
