Day 1: Tue 20 Aug - Home to Brisbane, 280km

7-26 deg C, a few clouds about, with a cool breeze at Hamilton this afternoon

Walk: 8km

After loading up the CX-8 with two full suitcases, a small wheel-a-board case and a back pack, we were on the road about 11:45am. First stop was at Gympie Maccas for lunch.

We arrived at Airport Heritage Motel at Hamilton, close to the airport about 3:30pm. After checking-in and unpacking a few things, we hit the streets for a wander and to have dinner at our favourite Indian restaurant in the area. We wandered for about 1.5 hours until it was almost 5pm and when the restaurant was supposed to open. Alas, it is closed on a Tuesday! Not to worry, we found an IGA that does ready meals, and there was a yuppie bottle shop next door, so all was not lost. 

Back in our room, we had dinner. We watched a bit of TV, then in preparation for an early start in the morning (about 3:15am), we hit the sack.
