JULY 10 - Gold Coast

Just a quick update to explain that we are on the Gold coast and around Brisbane as Ella has burnt her arm and is getting treatment at the Childrens hospital. We were camped out at Carnarvon National Park in the Salvator Rosa section, having a lovely time and had been there for two or three days. Early arvo Ella managed to fall backwards off a small camp chair onto the ashes of a small fire that had been alight that morning. It was a about 4pm but the coals underneath were obviously still hot enough to do a bit of damage. Anyway we managed to get water onto it and dress it properly, then drive the two and a half hours out to a rural hospital. Since then we have been to Tawoomba Hospital and then onto the burns unit at the Brisbane Children's Hospital, so the best people are looking after her. She has been great and doesn't seem bothered by it at all, has been a real trooper. She will however need a skin graft to help it all heal, which looks like happening this week.
 
In the meantime, we are all fine and Ella is having a wonderful time playing with her cousins (who live up here) and visiting the beach. Anyway all's well that ends well so we will see what happens over the next week or so.
