Distance: 426km Start time: 9:25am, stop time: 4:35pm Left at 8:35 am for the servo to fill up before heading off. Waited for G&Y to arrive and then left at 9:20am. Mornos was had at Tiaro at the Retro Cafe and they make really nice coffees. Upon arrival at Tiaro we discovered our left hand indicator on the van was b*****ed again. Greg and Gunther will have something to do this afternoon in Warwick! We stopped again in Woolooga for a visit to the "happy room"...

Those cages that are covered contain young birds that are still shy and want to learn. It was then a trek to the Handicapped Handicraft workshop factory...

25 degC 86% humidity We had a BIG sleep-in today - only got out of bed at 7am!! A leisurely breakfast followed and then we consulted the map for other places to see (the boys had gone on a guided tour of the Ci Chi tunnels). Wendy needed to visit a pharmacy so we located the nearest on the map and then decided on the Jade Emperor Pagoda which was approx 3km away.
