We have been trawling thru some very tiny towns and most of them are blink and miss them. We found a German Bakery in the middle of a town that consisted of a bakery, a junk shop and a servo. Great strudel and coffee, Rick was rapt. Anyway we decided to stop in the back street of one of these tiny towns, take the car off the bus and drive out to a waterfall. As we pulled up a lady came racing over, all smiles. It was Noelle, pictured. We met Noelle and Bill in Tassie in 2010. Bill was 70 and had suffered Leukemia for 20 years. But he was cheeky and loveable. Fell in love with them and visited them that year at their home in Casino NSW. We stayed in touch via Xmas Cards. Bill sadly passed away in nov. last year. We had decided that on our way back down the Coast later this year we would catch up with Noelle, and lo and behold here she was in the same back street in a one horse town, half way between her home in NSW and her sons in Rockhampton Qld. We laughed and cried and chatted for almost 2 hours before we went our separate ways. A wonderful start to a day. Its a small world after all.
