Rockhampton!

OK here's an outline fo today .. packed the car ... back seat has luggage bag, two plastic cubes (books etc, one for each subject) ... computer and electrical cords on the floor.

 

.. then in the boot ... I have the printer (it is still in its box), umbrella, and some fishing gear. So there is some " white space" in the vehicle. weight is all loaded forward.

 
Heaps of rain from north Brisbane to gee, just before Gladstone - then it cleared - so I pressed on to Rockhampton. The roads don't drain well in some places and water was laying in depression in the tar caused by vehicles - so I had to make sure I was driving on the ridges - not in the tyre depressions.

Here's a shot - about to totally lose visibility!!

Coming into Rockhampton I was driving beside the rail line - realised I was gradually passing a train travelling in the same direction. And as you can see - it was FINALLY sunny.

I stopped for food at a Hungry jacks - been a while I thought .... well .... when I went to the counter after my meal to get something to have with my coffee.... one of the staff cleared my table .... I looked back ... there was a little kid sitting there - no coffee and no book that I was reading - eeekkk - I had to recover the book - it had been placed with the newspapers and a man had his hands on it ... the book - Prevention of Oral Disease - the staff were concerned for my coffee - I was concerned for my $70- book!!!!
Alas - the dangers of dining alone!

Big day.... now for some relaxation.
