Saturday night bloodshed *WARNING BRUTAL
... I saw on the ward three days later to write his police report. Despite a lacerated liver and 2 litres of blood in his abdomen at surgery he is doing well.
The appalling stabbed abdomen was similarly operated on with success.
The worker lost his foot.
Both mother and baby fine.
We saw the stabbed pelvis a week later for a police report. He was fine but had a slight wound infection.

I even went walking with another girl who'd done a fair bit of travelling and it was funny swapping tales of inescapable mozzies and towels that you only realise you haven't washed for yonks when they ...
Waterfalls save the day
... climbed up a bit then saw we were able to climb higher, which we did. We made it 3/4 up the waterfall and hung out in a cutout of siderock wall. Amazing views!! We hiked back up and drove to the third waterfall which was a bust. On the way to the second waterfall we turned into oncoming traffic from a rotary(roundabout) haha, luckily there were no cars behind us so we could back up :) We timed the ...
