Rockhampton: Day 2

Today, we woke up at the Rockhampton Grammar School and enjoyed a delicious breakfast in the dining hall.  (This included local bananas.)  After breakfast, my dad got set up for his professional development workshops (this was the reason we came here) and my mom, brother, and I went to... wait for it, wait for it... A ZOO!!!!!!  Some of the habitats were damaged because just six weeks ago, a cyclone (a hurricane in the Southern Hemisphere) hit the area.  Apart from that, the zoo was beautiful, and before we knew it, it was time to head back.  When we met up with my dad, he was done with his presentation, and was ready to go.  We enjoyed a lunch of prawn and avocado sandwiches, said goodbye to our hosts, Stewart and Tania Norford, and packed up the RV.  We drove about eight hours today and tomorrow we will continue our drive and end up at Mount St. Bernard Colllege in Herberton.
