The weather lately has been really warm. Really, Really Warm. But Saturday dawned overcast and remained so for the rest of the day, and this took a bit of the edge off the heat we’ve been experiencing. Driving past Browns Plains, we are told by someone unknown to park out rig in Depot 218. We aren’t sure who it is, or where Depot 218 is, but we laugh about it, saying things like “how did they know we were coming?”

26.11.11 Andrew Drynan … The Puppies Big Day Out (again)
We hadn’t actually planned where we would go this weekend, it was a very quick decision and one that we were glad we made.
09.07.11 Pardise Valley
Another beautiful clear and crisp Winters day for camping. This weekend we are off to Paradise Valley, a small, privately owned campground along Lions Road and only 18k's from the NSW border. Since we won State of Origin through the week, it's probably a good idea not to venture too far into the losing state.
At 0900 we are on the road and heading towards our destination. Glenn has picked this site for the weekend. The day is cool, clear and we are both wearing jumper and beanies!

19.02.11 Andrew Drynan ... Puppies Big Day Out
We decided it was about time the Puppies in our lives got to have a holiday as well. Sort of a test run for behaviour, containment and various other criteria that Glenn deemed necessary. And (thankfully), all Puppies passed the test. Not necessarily with flying colours, but they weren't too much hassle ... except when the camp was approached by a stranger and they took our a corner pole on the awning.
It's just over an hour from home, 104.5 k's to be exact ... which incidentally is my favourite radio station's number. The day promised to be hot and steamy ... and it was ... mostly. As we headed to Beaudesert, the sky was covered in heavy looking, low lying, clouds.

22.10.10 Andrew Drynan (CamperTrailer.org Qld Meet)
When waiting for our Camper Trailer to arrive, we happened across various sites dedicated to CT enthusiasts. One we found extremely friendly was campertrailer.org They often have "meets" around Australia, and we were lucky enough to have one close to home recently. I put us down for it right away.
Glenn and I were both rather nervous about meeting so many people we had only chatted with online before. We needn't have been. They were just as friendly in person and we had a great time. One good opportunity to see new things and learn about how other people are camping
