Sunrise over the Coral Sea coast

This morning we awoke to a magnificent view towards Great Keppel Island. It was a clear morning so it was great to see. After having a lazy breakfast we eventually packed up and headed back to Rockhampton.

When we arrived back into Rockhampton, Bruce and I went to the regular monthly auction while Prue and Kaye went home for a while. I had not been to an auction for a long time. I remarked to Bruce that the faces are different but the characters are the same at most of these auctions. It was entertaining nonetheless.

After a while Prue and Kaye returned to collect us from the auction.We all then went into Rockhampton CBD for lunch at the Cambridge Bar and Grill. A nice meal with beautifully flavoured  meat.  This was followed by a walk around to the old Post Office's Degani Bakery Cafe. After the beautiful coffee we wandered back to the car and returned to Bruce and Kaye's home.

We had a relaxing afternoon and an early dinner as we were going to the Leo Sayer concert.

The Leo Sayer 40th anniversary concert was fantastic. The show started with a performance by new entertainer, Andrew Lawson. He was very good and had appeared on television show " X Factor".  He will be very good as he gets more exposure.

Then after a break we were entertained by Leo Sayer  for almost 2 hours. He is so energetic on stage mixing the performance with humour, dance and especially singing his endless list of songs. He has not lost any shine even after performing for more than 40 years. We highly enjoyed the whole show and recommend it to you if it comes your way.

After the show, we were told that the Queensland Reds Rugby team had beaten the NZ Blues 30 -13. Now they will play the NZ's Crusaders in Brisbane next weekend, after they beat the South African Stormers 29 - 10. That should be a fantastic game to watch as it is apparent these two teams will be close in ability.
