I woke up early and after cleaning my teeth packed up my tent immediately. I just bundled the wet tent into the back of the jazz and was on my way home by 6.30am. I had to fill up with petrol before leaving Grafton as it had been over 500Km since the last fill back at home.
I decided to take a different route home along the Summerland Way via Casino and Kyogle to the Mount Lindesay Highway back into Queensland and on to Beaudesert. This is a very rural road and has little services on the way. It is also hilly at times and coupled with road works made it a tough drive. I pulled into Beaudesert and stopped for breakfast. I then drove on to the Gateway Highway, over the bridge and up the Bruce highway back home. I got home about 12.30pm. I dried out my tent, aired my sleeping bag and did my washing before having an early dinner and crashing out about 7.00pm
I picked Louis up from the kennels early on Tuesday morning. I was told that he had settled down soon after I left and had been a happy and well behaved dog during his stay. When the girl went to get him he saw me from about 50 metres away and became very excited so she released his lead and he ran up to me to give me an enthusiastic greeting. As I slipped his kennel lead off he broke free and leapt into the back of the car and was not going to get out again. I put his collar on and attached him to his safety harness and brought him home.
