Emerald to Mundubbera ( Almost home)

 Quite a few places covered since the last post. I managed to crank out another drone video for this post, of Virgin Rock outside Springsure. Since the last post the route we took was -: Emerald - Springsure - Rolleston - Bauhinia - Moura - Banana - Theodore - Cracow - Eidsvold - Mundubbera.

Tomorrow we will get home after a short drive. I contacted Avril to see if we could catch up & she kindly came to see us at a windy Jacees park camp it was great to see Graham & Avril & she also organised the extended family for a short visit. We greatly appreciated this wonderful gesture & it was great to see Jasmine, Nigel, Brendan, Shoni, Harper, Nevaeh & Connor. Thanks so much as I know how busy you guys are.

The last night is always a sad affair, as we know the current adventure is over.

The remaining 4 of us spent some social time in the caravan with Rocko harassing everyone, as it was too windy outside. This was the first time on this trip that the weather prevented us from being outside in the evening.
