Doh!

Set off early from Hervey Bay and was making good time towards Rockhampton when just past Mt Larcon Simon accidently put Unleaded petrol in Campy. He realised as he was doing it so not an excessive amount but tank was pretty low on diesel. It meant Campy had to be lifted onto a tipping tow truck (Thomas very interested) and taken back to Gladstone where the tank was drained out. It meant an inadvertent stop around a very industrial town, a trip up to Auckland point, another playground and some take away pizza. The towing company lent us a car (a real hot rod with a whole in the exhaust, see below) to tour the town. They managed to fix Campy quite quickly and we made it to Rockhampton late. The stars of the day were Anna and Thomas who coped with long periods of time in various vehicles.
