Coromal arrives at Bribie



The weekend of Fri June 8th, Sat 9th and Sunday 10th saw us escape for the weekend to Worrium with our little van "Poppy" she is a Coromal 15ft van all the comforts we need and this time with the new moderfications that we have had done to the sleeping  arrangements, we had the van taken back to single beds, the main reason with my bad back I was over climbing in and out and over Brian each time I needed to get in or out it was such a pain and also making the bed was a real chore. So a guy from my work did the beds for us and made a cabinet for between the beds where we now have room for our early morning cuppa and books, glasses etc all in all a great success - I love it, we both have a window that we can either have open for some fresh air something we never had before, the above bed lamps were still there from the original way the van was when manufactured. Converting the beds has given us so much more room it is amazing how open the van is now  - we love it. Unfortunately the weather was not very good for us and we were not able to sit outside at all due to drizzly damp stuff but we were on the site right next to Terry and Patricia so all in all it was fine. I finished work on the Friday around midday and we headed down to Bribie early in the PM arriving there mid arvo, taking no time at all to set up we were soon sitting down to a cuppa, we all headed to the Blue Pub for dinner that night which was great.










Heading home on the Sunday we paid to leave later and luckily we were heading north as the traffic heading south was dreadful bumper to bumper see photo of gridlock on the M/Way which is a common thing on a holiday weekend. The following weekend once the weather had cleared Brian decided that the roll out awning needed a good clean, hence the spruce up We had a great time and cann't wait to head away again next year for a longer journey, the van is currently in at Suncoast Caravans getting some more moderfications and a few minor repairs done for the trip ahead  - but more about that another time.
