Warwick

15 – 17 October 2024

Some weeks before, we had decided to book a few nights at O’Reillys and needed to find somewhere not too far away to store the trailer. Calling ahead to the caravan park in Warwick, we were advised that they would be able to do that for us at no charge if we stayed before or after, so that’s where we went.

We stopped on the way to do some birding at a picnic spot near Cunningham’s Gap. When we pulled in off the highway, we realised we had been there before. We could hear the bellbirds but they were well hidden in the bush.

Continuing on we stopped at a nearby rest area for lunch but quickly changed our minds as a heavy shower of rain arrived at the same time as we did. By the time we reached Maryvale the rain had passed so we turned off the highway and had lunch in a park on the edge of town. From there it was a short drive into Warwick where we settled in to the caravan park.

I had a problem with a tooth a couple of days before and had managed to book an appointment with a local dentist so that was the highlight of my afternoon. We spent the next day sorting and repacking so that we would have all we needed when we went to O’Reillys and so the camper trailer would be tidy when we left it. We did some shopping for the essentials we would need for the next few days and had everything sorted ready to head off in the morning.

We packed the trailer up and moved it to the storage spot within the caravan park and then set off for three nights at O’Reilly's.
