The joys of having to change to Plan B. There is so much rain happening here that areas of inland NSW are currently underwater - areas I was planning on travelling through to get to Brisbane this weekend! Then there is the plauge of locust I'ld have to drive throught as well. Plan A is just not looking that great right now. My trip up to Brisbane, before arriving in Cambodia, is going to be an adventure and a half.
So I have turned to Plan B. An amazing friend of mine is going to travel up with me as we battle flood waters and locust swarms along the coastal route rather than heading inland. I'll drop her off at the airport on the Gold Coast so she can fly back to Melbourne (just an hour before my next destination, Brisbane). It will be great to travel with someone and far less boring.
Am starting to wonder if I it would be better to travel to Brisbane by boat (or an aquabus). Is this a way of testing how flexible I am when the going gets tough? I'm sure I'll have a few tales to tell afterwards. The great thing about Plan B is I get to go to the Big Banana and spend 2 extra days with my friend. See...I can find a silver lining!
