Travelling along National Highway 1 at 110 kilometres per
hour is a bit of a novelty, but seeing as this trip was about getting to the
destination as quickly as possible, then speed was essential and Delvy not the
vehicle to do it in.
It’s two thousand kilometres from Airlie Beach to Church
Point where we had to pick up a yacht, which amounts to about 24 hours of
driving time. With two drivers swapping in and out and a pre packed picnic bag,
plus overnight stops in the Sunshine Coast and Lake Macquarie, the mission was
accomplished in two and a half days.
This was far quicker than we have ever done the Australian
east coast road before, but we had an appropriate vehicle to do it in. In contrast, it would take Delvy a week to
travel that distance.
Which would I prefer, fast tracking or taking the slow lane?
