DAY 18: March 7th, Rockhampton to Brisbane

Our last full day together began at the hour of 6am when we all gathered at the car for our last leg of the road trip to Brisbane. It was going to be a long one too with about 8 hours of driving to do between us!
We took it in turns to do an hour or two each and had a few stops on the way for breakfast and drinks. We passed Gladstone, Bundaberg and Gympie before hitting the motorway into Brisbane. After some excellent map-reading by myself, we pulled up at the Stamford Plaza Hotel, situated between the river and the botanical gardens in the centre of Brisbane.
