Stuck in Gympie

Not the place you want to be stuck in.

Kidding aside, we were heading up to Rockhampton to go geming. Yeah, that's right, we were going to hunt opals and sapphires in the dawn early hours. Alas, it was not to be as on the way our little Fuzy broke. You can imagine my disappointment. Looking for shinny rocks to bead with, well, it's an obsession.

A cracked piston was the reality, so actually we could still drive her, but not very well. Hence, stuck in Gympie. We managed to pull into the nearest car park for the night to re-evaluate the situation and sniff out some options. Three days later, we concluded that ending our Australian trip would be for the best. Believe me, we thought of everything, but it came down to money mostly. Did I mention Australia was expensive! So, we would just spend more time in Thailand before attending our friend's wedding on 10/10/2010.
Warm weather (again) here we come.
