The Long Way Home – Chapter 1 – New Years Day in Rockhampton
Robyn and I decide we need some time out and we head out with no real destination in mind
Covid has changed our plans yet again. We have an appointment we need to keep that Covid, we will not let affect. After that we have another trip in place BEFORE we get home some 10 months after we left.

We head out in search of places to see, things to do. Firstly evidence of the memorials to our servicemen and women.
Thankfully the Telstra Shop is not busy and we are immediately on the trail of the issue.
One also wonders how the grey nomads in general, deal with this type of issue. Do they simply “keep going” as we are prepared/required to do, potentially falling off the perch in a cliff jumping event at some later date
While waiting for Robyn to complete her tests I received an email from an accounting client wanting urgent work completed. A suggestion that I would not be able to even look at the work until the testing was completed are met with “why not”
The train even made a “special” stop to let us off closer to their house than have to alight at Narrandera Station and walk home. The perks of the job I suspect.
I created a folder of them on the back end of the website, but when I go to upload them into a blog the folder is not evident. I suspect another “user error” issue
In time we are off to John’s place where we are faced with the entire Gladstone Parnaby Clan rather than the intimate gathering we were expecting. Everyone has brought something to nibble including some large prawns
Back in Builyan there is the coffee shop we were supposed to meet at the start of the day. It is named Kirsten’s Cottage and given our daughter’s name is Kirsten we must take a picture of it and send it to her.
I had strategically parked the Cruiser in front of the local hotel and given it was that time of day, we decided to eat there. Good pub meals can make or break a visit to a town.
