We are camped on river on the Donohue Highway, just out of Boulia - beautiful spot - have cooked and eaten roast beef (cooked in the Cobb) - yummo!!!
Footy is on, so I am trawling the net!!

Not been on here for a week so just catching up on everything tonight. We finally got the call last Sunday to say M-I-L had passed away. She had a stroke 12 months ago and has been basically in a coma ever since. Every couple of weeks the hospital would ring and say you better get here and she would rally so this time we ummed and ahhed before deciding we would do the 3 hr drive immediately instead of the next day so of course this time it was the real deal and we didn't get there in time. But she is now planted, we had a family reunion and life goes on. Tommorrow we head back to Avoca for two weeks before heading back west for a few weeks.

Sorry to hear about your loss - but as you say, life goes on.
Enjoy your travels - as your m-i-l will enjoy hers.
