Names and Places

After spending the weekend looking we did buy a 4WD. It is a Toyota Surf, and no doubt we will have many many pictures to show soon. We pick it up tonight, and the logistics are hard! This car yard is in Ipswich, which is nearly 2 hours away from our house! So Peter in training in, and then we will train together to the car yard. I will then pick up his car from the station and drive home.

It's a manual. That's also a problem, as I have never driven a manual before in my life. Peter has owned one, but that was over 3 years ago! So its going to be an interesting drive home.

After we found the car we decided to do a bit of research on what kind of tracks there are for off-roading. We found a few good ones, but some of the place names were crazy! Whoever named the towns/citys in QLD really loved the oo's. Here are a few of the names I have found with oo's in them.
