I took a bit of a turn during the last few K's into Kunawaratjii and the bloke at the garage got us the okay to drive on the Telfor
Mine road and the
mine also said that they would fly me to
Perth if needed. I rang my doctor on our sat phone (good choice). Luckily while we were talking to him my pacemaker settled down. He said just go to Port Headland and he would make arrangements for me to see someone.
Like I said great -- help. Typical country folk - can't do enough for you. I was a little worried for a while but all turned out okay. We also called the
mine on the CB on the way past and thanked them.
No wonder why we travel in these so hospitable place yet they desert is so often so deadly!!!!! It's the people, serenity, honesty and peace that's for the sharing. You won't get that in Bali etc.
They will look after you mate. Say Hi for us. A 100 series, one grand daughter daughter and a "T" van in tow. They may remember us. I was quite worried and a little eager to get back to populated areas. It helps to have an ex nurse with me though. We sent a thnk you letter by snail mail. I didn't get a response so I hope that they got it okay.
