Wow Colleen, this is just fantastic! It reminds me of when I was repping and the end of the day, when the highway seems to never end, always another 100kms to go!! And keeping those eagle eyes out for roos (or emus and pigs, depending on where you are!
! COngrats on your home feature (albeit back in May!) and also being one of RB faves! That is so inspiring!! You are so inspiring! Keep a smile on that dial! :))
Colleen Milburn replied
Lol!! Yes, it’s roos in my neck of the woods!! And isn’t it hard to keep to the speed limit when there’s still 100 kms to go! I love that you saw this in this image. It was a shock to me to find out it was an RB fave!! Thanks so much for your lovely words, Vicki – I truly do appreciate them – I’m still smiling! :)))
