We were all up early this morning to pack up as Liza and Jackie have a long drive ahead of them to get back to Perth.

We are leaving as well today but we pitched in to try to get the girls on the road as soon as possible so they wouldn't be traveling in the dark, they had only been gone 15min when Liza rang to say she had left her good rings and was coming back doh! I hate turning aroung to go back once I have started out.

We finished packing and headed for Gladstone bay, picked up a few groceries on the way.

While we were traveling we went through a small area of phone reception and a message came through from my brother Ben to give him a call, we weren't far from a lookout on to of a hill so Merv went up so I could call. When I got Ben it was to tell me my baby sister Sue had passed away that morning, she had been sick for awhile but it was still horrible to hear, Sue always gave me heaps of laughs I will miss her terribly, she was too young.

When we arrived at Gladstone bay it was windy and overcast, we got set up and just chilled I was feeling too sad to go walking around. Hamburgers for dinner.

During the night the sky cleared and I lay looking out at a beautiful moon and lots of stars, it is so quiet.
