Great news that your baby arrived in Townsville safely and that you had a good trip home -- well as much as north Qld allows at this time of the year in that if it's not stinking hot, it's raining.
Still there'll be plenty of fun times ahead when the weather cools down a bit. Lots of runs up to the Tableland I'm guessing.
I hope you were polite to the nice officer. It bugs me when they do that. They give you the spiel that 'you weren't doing anything wrong -- we just need to blah blah blah' It's better than getting pinged for something I suppose, but it gives you a start and sort of ruins the mood of the drive.
Happens to me frequently when I'm on the bike....
Anyway, apart from all that, well done on your early Christmas present!
