Three months after registration and successfully completing four thousand kilometres of short trips around Victoria, it was
time for MYA30 to do its first big trip.
Loaded up with fuel, water and camping equipment we headed off to Bundaberg. I had already
spent several nights in front of the computer with my GPS plotting a route which did not go on any of the highways, this added another
900km further than going up the Newell Highway but would suite me and MYA30 much better.
Here are some of the locations I passed
through on my way. Broadford, Corowa, Lockhart, Lake Congelligo, Nundle, Bonalbo, Killarney, Cecil Plains, Murgon and Gin Gin. The
best driving and scenic roads were around the Border Rangers area on the New South Wales, Queensland borders. The narrow roads, with
no traffic, swept though the mountains, and were a delight for MYA30, although some of the steep grades required second gear to climb
up them and slow down going down them.
In the two weeks we travelled 5800km and averaged 16km per litre = 45mpg and never
touched the tool kit.
