After just three grueling days on the road from Melbourne, Mon arrived in Atherton. His drive from Canberra onward took a turn for the unlikely. When he found the planned motel stop would not respond to his knocking, he just kept on driving till daybreak. That was somewhere south of Rockhampton. There he slept in a airconditioned cabin all day and started again to drive through the night.So at 7 o'clock the next morning, Peter saw him at the door. He and Peter brought breakfast up to their mum and dad, and did they get a surprise. In hindsight, Peter realised that their mum's heart was not at its best and the surprise might have stopped it. But all went well and the renuion was super.
Mon old Nimbus carried a load of stuff. Every square cm was accounted for. Peter's mum is sure that there were angels holding that car together the whole way. Absolutely.
