clint gee made the almost six hour journey from his home outside brisbane to wandoan in regional queensland , only to find the local council failed to dig a spot where he could place his mother 's ashes .
mr gee planned to place his mother elizabeth hobbs , who died last year , with his father , alex gee , who died in 1964 .
mr gee said he had organised the day with the western downs regional council to ensure everything would run smoothly .
