DAY 38 - THE DRILLER HAS A SORE HEAD




We have only another day or two to go with the drilling around Croydon, then we are heading off to the Cape Tribultion in the Daintree National Park for the weekend. We are 'fanging' to get out of here as one week has turned into two and things have been a bit slow on the rig.

Dramas this week with an incident on the drilling rig with the Driller getting a nasty head knock and we ended up getting the flying doctor in. Fortunately the driller is fine, but he had a nasty headache and we spent the afternoon arranging for the ambulance to evacuate him out to meet the plane.

We spotted some emu's having a stroll this morning and were lucky enough to get some really close snaps.

A heartfelt congratulations to Damien and Bree on their engagement, we are very happy for you both! That ring is massive!

Hey Neil (and Dordie, who we have yet to have the pleasure to meet!)

Our paths didn't cross this time, but Lisa is already making plans to return in 2008 (we should make plans to emigrate. Yah, you have a great country!). If you and Dordie ever decide to step over the cliff, you never know - we might be interested in competing for "most travelled".

Don't apologize for doing "touristy" things - Aussies, while great travellers, have (IMHO) a tendancy to ignore their own country, which has so much to offer (as you are no doubt finding out).

We are back in Canada, but will be watching your blog with great interest. I'll probably give our blog a final update by the end of October, and then put it to rest. (A lot of work, aren't they).

Cheers!

Bruce & Lisa
