DAY 20: March 9th, Rockhampton to Moranbah, via Mackay

We left Rockhampton early and got to Habana (north of Mackay) to pick Ben up at about 1pm. He was very excited to see us, although he was looking for the rest of his family… We took him to the beach and let him have a good run and swim in the sea to make up for his captivity of the last week and a half!
After our last (and very difficult) two and a half hours of driving, we never wanted to get in a car again! We got home and unpacked the car for about 5pm – just as mum, dad and Kate were driving home from Manchester airport!! To think that they got all the way to the other side of the world, into Heathrow and then flew up to Manchester in the time it took us to get back home from Brisbane, gives you an indication of just how big this country is!
