We arrived into Rockhampton at 12.15am after a long bus journey from Airlie. We grabbed the taxi which was waiting at the station and headed to the YHA hostel. We had arranged for them to leave our key with instructions in the safe outside reception, I guess they are use to arrivals late at night. We found our dorm, and sneaked in as quietly as possible and got our heads down. Tomorrow was going to be a big day, meeting relatives which I haven't seen in such a long time. Will I even recognise them???

The morning arrived, and my Aunt had already texted me and said they were in Rocky. I quickly got up and showered, we had to check out at 10am anyway so it worked out great. I heard a car roll up and stuck my head out the door, there was a blue range rover outside with a lady stood looking around, I thought to myself, 'I think that's my Aunty Sue'. I went over and said 'Aunty Sue' in an unsure voice, thank god it was. I recognised Uncle Malcolm and all was good. Bags in the back and off we went for a drive around Rocky to show us the sites. Uncle Malcolm was full of information about Rocky, he also took us to Yeppoon that day and Emu Park before driving back to Biloela, also stopping at his farm on the way there.

Next stop Biloela.
