July 17th 2008 - Noosa

Hi all,
 
...... Onwards and upwards!!!! You should all be happy to know that after a visit to the hospital in Brisbane again today the doctor has given us the go ahead to move on. They are more than happy with Ella's progress and are confident she will heal up in a few weeks. We have been decked out with a supply of dressings and will do the dressing changes ourselves every seven days till we hit Cairns, where we will do a final video conference with the doctors. Ahhh modern technology.....
 
After a few average days we are now revitalised and have used the down time to pull everything out of our roof rack pack, fix a puncture in our boat, put new shocker mounts on the trailer, service the cruiser, wash some blankets and sheets (that had been visited by bush mice at our last camp) and rebuild one of our air compressors. Busy, busy but all good. On top of this we were able to catch up with many family members, share in a birthday (Bridgette's 25th) and drive in Brisbane peak hour traffic with our camper trailer...TWICE. See even on boring days life is an adventure.
 
We will spend the weekend finalising things and will head north to Fraser Island on monday. From there we will cruise up the coast to Cairns where we will video conference with the Children's hospital before getting the go ahead to escape up the Cape. MMMmmmmm isloation.....and leeches...yay
