Pt 2 - Day 68 - Our last day on the road

Well, this morning we are all very aware that this is our last day on the road.  Kids pile into bed with Glen before breakfast as they know that once we get home they won't get much of a chance to do that for a while.  It is freezing in Kal today with a maximum of 19C forecast.

This morning we head out to the bush to collect some rocks for our little gold miner.  We come back with a bag full of quartz that he can crush when we get home, in search for gold.  That will sure keep him busy!!  Then up to Mt Charlotte for a view of Kal fromt the lookout.  After that we grabbed some lunch and ate it at Hammond Park which is a great park for the kids. A fantastic playground and there are heaps of birds for the kids to see.  Cockies, emus, budgies, peacocks, ducks etc. There were a couple of schools there and we saw the camp school with all their gear for lunch and Michael the bus driver!!

 After this we drop Glen off at the Royal Flying Doctors so he can do a tour.  The kids and I head down the street to get some souvenirs.

This afternoon I go down the street on my own to make some clothes purchases, as none of mine fit anymore!!!!  I also start thinking about school and buy contact, pencils etc as the kids will be able to go back for the last week and a half.  In the afternoon the girls have hair appointments and then we just get organised for an early departure in the morning.  It is about a 530km drive which we can easily manage, it will just be a big day.  We had considered heading out this evening and camping on the side of the road, but the thought of another stop over somewhere didn't excite us much and we knew everyone would be bounding out of bed tomorrow.

 Everyone is very excited about going home.  I take one last photo of them all lined up in their bunks and we all have a good sleep for the very last night in our van.
