A misadventure


Had a last meal at the Forster Tuncurry ex services club Friday (and they are not recommended for value for money – everything had a surcharge for visitors) before travelling on Saturday 12 July to Port Macquarie – a lovely part of the world.


All going very well, and then we went to visit Judy’s niece – when leaving Judy stepped off the porch, missed her step and went down very heavily. Irene and Judy then spent the afternoon at the ED department, finally leaving at 8.00pm with Judy’s leg in plaster! – yes she has broken her fibula and a couple of other bones in her foot.


Luckily, she has family in PM, and she will stay in the area and will catch up to us at a later date. She is checking in to the private hospital in PM this afternoon to get some assistance to get a little better with mobility.

The First Week

All going well, now in Port Stephens – very good facilities. Came via Dubbo and thought the Dubbo Zoo was just terrific! We are doing well in the van, we all have our jobs to do and are becoming proficient at them. So far there has not been too much yelling when we are reversing or positioning the van. It is so good to be on the coast and hopefully to the warmer weather. We will be staying here for about 5 days – just to relax and unwind before heading off again.

(Good luck guessing what our call sign means – those two people that do know – please keep it to yourself)
