Medical Emergency!
MONDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2008
Well, today was eventful. I had to try to get to the next town which was Wahgunyah, to see a doctor for my eyes.
I pulled into town, hopped in a taxi and headed over to Rutherglen Medical Centre, where Dr Mira Kapur and her staff looked after me very well. Leoni from the taxi company also looked after me, and both Leoni and Rutherglen gave me personal donations for Make A Wish! Thank you so much!!!
I now have some comfort in my eye, which nearly caused me to have a mental break down yesterday as it was so painful and itchy. A great relief!
As we were leaving Wahgunyah a farmer warned us to be careful of the rapids. We thought he was joking, so didn't think any more of it. We soon discovered he was not joking, as we hit them in full force. Although a challenge, we managed to paddle through the rapids without too much difficulty.
Tonight we are aiming to find a camping ground to stay in so that we can easily cook some hot food.
Travelled around 50k's today, and our bodies are still fit and strong!
