Happy Birthday to son-in-law, Murray.
Well today we packed up and what a performance that was! Half the caravan park came to watch or have a last minute look inside. Couple of blokes wanted to watch Himself actually hitching the van to the ute. Felt like selling tickets and of course it slowed down the actual packing procedure considerably. Then we had to double check to make sure we had actually done it all considering the stoppages.......
Headed off up the road with plans to stop at Agnes Waters or 1770 but they were all booked out, so we continued to Tannum Sands, but guess what? All booked out, so here we sit in a free camp on the highway on our way to Rockhampton.
On a more somber note, we saw our first road accident today. Four wheel drive and caravan rolled. Car landed on roof and slid off the road into the trees. We have been told that one person was air lifted out by ambulance helicopter and the other occupant of the vehicle was moved by ambulance which left the accident without any bells and lights.........
Johnny came out from Tannum Sands to say hello and have tea with us. Good of him to visit as we could not go into town with the big rig unless we had somewhere to put it.
The Bruce Highway is a very busy road. We sit here listening to the sound of the traffic, mostly trucks, as they rush past us in the night. Hoping it will ease a bit before much longer so that we can get some sleep tonight. Also hoping it does not get down too low on the temperature guage tonight.
