Just stopped in Burketown to get reception after two nights at the Leichhardt River. Beautiful. Yesterday Kay and Paul were going to stay but unfortunately dear Kay missed her footing from the caravan and tumbled. She broke her wrist. So Nurse Penny bandaged etc and sent them on their way to Burketown. Se was flown to Mt Isa as there are no medical facilities here and her wrist was re aligned with the aid of wonderful pain and dreamland drugs. They will stay in Mt Isa for three days and Kay will have another plaster applied after the swelling has subsided. They will then continue on to Darwin and have a holiday in Bali. Such a shame but she sounds in good spirits. Paul had a very long drive to Cloncurry last night then on to Mt Isa this morning.
We are going south now to Gregory Downs and will be off air again. Then to Lawn Hill Nat Par then Cloncurry and Mt Isa.
Reece caught two red claw in his net this morning. Big dry flat country here. That's probably why it is called the Savannah Way. The Savannah hwy goes from Cairns to Broome.
Love Pen
