"Rocky"


Things we will remember Rockhampton for:
  • Rain
  • Frustrating beaurocrats, when trying to sort out licence renewal issue (now only 4 days until I take over the driving of the van!!??)
  • A "FREE", Council run zoo
  • Scratching a Koala's back



He was really a bit cute!

Not quite so cute. Isabelle, I think her name was "Edwina", or is it Edward?!

  • A looooooooong wait in a medical centre for a prescription renewal - even worse than Keith! I waited an hour and a half and was in with the Dr for 30 seconds! (After being told when I phoned that they didn't bulk bill, they must have felt guilty, because I didn't have to pay a thing!) That particular Doctor, should have paid me....I helped him catch up on his appointment schedule!
  • Crossing the Tropic of Capricorn
  • Looking straight up, at the latitude of Tropic of Capricorn - at 23. 27 degrees, south 
    The plaque explains it much better than I could!
    
  • Bull statues everywhere - they are the "Beef Capital of Queensland", evidently!
