From Newmarket Gardens to Brisbane Wharf
On 2010/11/26
On Tuesday November 23 I headed to SDV Logistics to meet Ashleigh in order to finalize and to pay the shipping of my truck to Vancouver. With my great surprise I gave him the carnet de passage en douane, my truck passport, because the customs required the receipt of the deposit of the vehicle at the port, Receival docket AAT Berth 3,-Australian Amalgamated Terminal- the procedure took 48 hours. Australians are litigious and slow. Ashleigh guaranteed the CPD will be sent to SDV Logistics in Vancouver. Although reticent I did not have the choice. Then I drove to DHL close to the airport of Brisbane to send two old CPD to Automobile Club de France. Then I was going to meet AAT Berth 3 to announce my visit on Friday 26 and finally I bought Equal Product, tyre dynamic balancing, in forecast of a change of tyres in North America. Left around eight am I was back to Newmarket Gardens around 2pm for 127 km.

On Friday November 26 I arrived around 9 am at the AAT Berth
3 after one driving hour for 31 km at the rush hour. Administrative
paperwork took approximately 30 minutes then the employee inspected my
truck to note the existing damage, stripes etc. I gave him keys to enter
the truck into the safety enclosure of the port. My business was finished.
I made call a taxi, I arrived at my hotel close to the
train station around 11 am. Last once I strolled Queens Mall with a pinching
in my heart because I left Australia after more than one year of travelling.
The ultimate sight was a aboriginal playing his traditional instrument.
In about one year a federal referendum will be organized to register in the
constitution Aboriginals were the first people occupying
Australia, de jure recognition of colonization by the British.
The thermometer started to reach tops, it made approximately 30°C. The next
morning I took a plane to Seoul where the temperature was close
to zero degree. Moreover the North Korea under the influence of a psychopath
launched more than one hundred bombs on an island of South
Korea. The case to say it, bad weather.
