Wednesday, up early. Needed to rearrange weight from trailer to the rental truck. I think the team brought every tool they had from their shop. Still feel the trailer weaving while towing but had to get on the road before morning traffic got heavy.

There were 3 choices, head north following the coast or the inland New England Highway or go west directly to the Outback which is flat and straight. The coast road had too much traffic especially with Australian spring break. Bruce recommended the Outback because it was the quickest and a straight drive, best for the trailer. But it seemed it would be just too boring, so we took the New England Highway. It only added 300 km and mostly rolling hills. Plan was to drive 900 km to Toowoomba which should take us 8 hours. Trailer wasn't handling well and quickly realized the truck was under powered. It could only go 30-40 kph up hill and maximum of 100 kph down hill with the trailer.
