Here's our driving log.

8:21am - Hooker Blvd
We just left home. First stop McDonald's; second stop Noosa - Casey's Aunty's for morning tea.  I'm excited about going home and Case is sad about leaving hers. :(

It's now 10:12am. We had Macca's for breakfast and then drove some more and stopped for a toilet break for me. We're currently listening to Coheed and Cambria. Woo. We've done 159km so far.

12:24pm - Kybong. 20km south of Gympie. Filled up petrol at $1.17 - 252km.  Stopped at Noosa for morning tea at Casey's aunty and uncle's place. Next stop will be whenever we feel like it.

4:40pm - Just past Beranaby
Filled up at $1.24 ("plus $3.00 fucking shit glass bottle of coke" so eloquently spoken by Casey)- 621km so far. We've had a whole bunch of food. We stopped at Childer's for a break and lunch.

6:28am - Day Two to Townsville.
746km so far. We got up early and we're on our way home to the Ville. Listening to Holly Throsby. It's foggy as and still a little dark.

6:42am - Kangaroo Watch.
Sun is rising and the first person to spot a kangaroo wins. Plus it's still foggy.

8:01am - Current speed 130km/h.
901.4km from Robina. We've been driving on the same road with the same view of trees, dead carcasses and, give or take three blink-and-you'll-miss-it towns, for the last hour and a half. 170km to Mackay.

Truck horns - IIII

10:24am - Outskirts of Mackay.
Just stopped for breakfast at McDonald's.
I am spent so J is drivig to Proserpine, about 120km. Ahh, so good.
Kangaroo count - three dead ones.
Now we're passing through Farley. So many two-house towns. Just filled up at 123.9 and it cost $23.20 (we weren't on empty).
381km to Townsville.
I think I'm going kinda insane. Yelling at cars; screaming unneccesarily etc. We've driven 1092.5 so far. Jess has driven 13km. 107km to Proserpine.
J just overtook three cars on an overtaking lane doing about 140km/h.
Eek. Noice job.
Now I'm going to watch the view.
Over.

2:32pm - Townsville.
So we made it, and I lie, it's not really 2:32pm but 3:12pm, but 2:32pm was when we pulled into the driveway. I am spent.
We drove something like 1459km. Jess drove 65 of them.
Oh boy I never want to drive again.
Everything is unpacked but not yet sorted; save that for later.
Total kangaroo count was 5 dead ones.
Total crosses on the side of the road count was 31.
Total butterflies killed = 2
Total truck horns = 5, out of like 15 attempts, lame.
Total kilometres travelled = 1467.2.

Over and out.

There you go folks, bored you already on my first post in Townsville.
Exciting times ahead, I'm sure.

Looking for a job today.
Eek.
Thinking of you all.
