Longreach

Longreach is famous for being the original base of QANTAS and they have the QANTAS Founders Museum with the history of the airline. The pic shows us standing by one of the original QANTAS planes that was actually built at Longreach.
It has been an eventful journey to get here. Hannah got something in her eye in Charleville and we stayed an extra day so that she could get treatment, then when we were walking the dogs before leaving Charleville, Hannah pulled Kathy off balance causing her to fall. This gave her scraped knees and elbows, and a hard hit on her left hand. The swelling and pain in her wrist did not go away, so today we were visiting the Longreach Hospital. There were only nurses in attendance, the doctor was at the other end of an internet connection using the medical equivalent of Skype. The conclusion was her hand is badly bruised, but if the swelling and pain are still there in 5 days, go for an X-Ray. Reminds me of the old doctor joke, "Take one of these pills before you go to sleep tonight, and IF you wake up in the morning, take another one"
