Road Trip To Grandchester

This Easter Stephen and I shall be taking a road trip all the way to Grandchester. Our first road trip since Melbourne. We used to travel for twelve hours, by road, to Marysville, usually with an overnight stopover to visit our daughter. Unfortunately most of Marysville was razed to the ground in the fires of 2009. Hence, the journey to Queensland. Yes, where in January 2011, the worst floods swept through much of the state with unprecedented devastation. The last time I took a road trip to Queensland I was in Year 10 at high school. Forty plus years have since past so one may presume that this road trip will very different from the previous. Travelling on Good Friday we should avoid much of the traffic. I am predicting that there will be no fires or floods to contend with and that Easter will be fun filled with copious amounts of chocolate, a spa or two and most definitely, a soothing massage, for the travel weary bones.
