An accident waiting to happen!!

Hi everyone, once again.

Due to unprecedented demand, Les has been

instructed to update the blog today :)

Since the last post here, Les had a very quick

trip to Brisbane to catch up with his eldest

daughter, Tanya as she is now some 31 weeks pregnant

and was missing her daddy, (and vice versa).

It was a fleeting visit to see how all is going.

Left Cairns Thurs lunch time and returned to Cairns Sun arvo. The road trip from Mount Surprise to Cairns

is some 4 1/2 hours so was a long journey  all up.

We had a State of Origin do  in camp here
and most of the tourists

attended in the main dining room. Plenty of decos

and had a sausage sizzle also.

Had a great night made even better by the

QUEENSLAND

win, yeeha!!

The accident waiting to happen unfortunately was Susan

riding the motor scooter.

A week ago she was returning from showing

a customer their site and a couple of the boys working here

were playing with a frisbee.

It was thrown in the direction of Susan and she thought

it was coming towards her so moved slightly,

however, the frisbee actually hit the front wheel

and caused the scooter to slip on the gravel.

Soooo, Susan came down with a thud, got ugly gravel rash

on the left arm and leg. The boys had to help get the bike off her and were feeling pretty bad about it all.

Susan has since been to the nurse at the clinic

here and she advised Susan she has at least one broken rib and has pulled the muscle all around her shoulder.

Of course Susan just continued on working till she started

to feel how painful it was. She is feeling better now and

has some better movement in her arm.

Unfortunately, the broken rib/s don't heal that quick.

This is the worst of the gravel rash on the arm.

It is quite deep.

During our last break we visited a great little

town called Yungaburra, below.

The town is very similar to Tamborine, Maleny etc,

markets and craft shops etc.

There was a small collection of motorcycles outside the pub, check these oldies.

Well that's all for now we will update again as things happen around here.

Cheers for now
