I wore a 50’s style dress with royal and sky blue embroidered flowers, which matched the bridesmaids and Best Lady’s dresses.
I had a similar problem just yesterday- however I was about 350km north west of Cairns, half an hour from the nearest township of 300 people.
I was a single woman driving the PDR (peninsular development road - the mostly dirt road from Cairns to Weipa) by myself.
Unsurprisingly there is no reception there!
About 20 cars drove past me. Not even slowing down to ask or check if I needed help.
I was doing ok, but it was a bit frustrating that nobody on such a remote road even stopped to ask.
I was prepared also, thanks Dad, & when it got to the final tricky bit like getting the new giant 4WD wheel on, I had a nice couple stop to help!
That was mostly because I stood on the side of the road & looked helpless. I know I could have done it, but in such a remote place you would think people would help?
Makes me glad I always slow down & ask!
