8:30am was set off time, I picked Hilanda up from Wellington Point and then on to pick Lis up from Caloundra....after a lunchtime snack we were off!!! We had the tunes set up.....RnB, House, Dance, Rock,..... we had it all!.... sweets, crips (chips) as the Aussies say.... mmmmmm this is the life.....
Any way the trip took us through the Glass House Mountains, then Mt Mee!! what a awsome drive I can tell you! If any of you take the trip to come and see us down under then I am more than sure this is one of the places we will take you!
Any way as I was driving and taking in the views.... cars in front started to slow.... this was not expected ans I wondered what the problem could be. As we finaly drove to a halt, I could see that there had been a motorcycle accident! I had a medical kit in the boot of the car and thought it could be of help, I grabbed it and ran to the scene.... Lis and Hilanda parked the car and came to join to see if they could help.... it was quite comical as when Lis started running towards the accident she was stopped by a man who told her that she could not go any further.... to this she replied "its OK I work for a aged care company"... where the hell this came from I have no idea ha ha ha ha.... of all the things she could have said.... it was hilarious!
Any way.....lucky there was a doctor on scene and gave us a hand.... we provided towels, water and temp medical supplies until the ambulance came. The passanger had broken her arm and I think that the bone had penatrated the skin as the wound was wide open and bleeding badly.... we poured saline on it and wrapped a bandage around it to try stop the blood..... Its was a biker couple who had come off, but they were OK apart from broken bones (arms and legs).... I think we did a very good job at keeping the couple as comfortabe as possible until the ambulance came.... Hilanda held the umbrella over for shade.....Lis let the woman squeese her hand and I provided water, supplies and kepped the two talking.....Wow what a start to our road trip!!!! The amulance came and assured us that they would be OK... and off they went to be fixed up!
Back on the road.......
I think we were still in shock about what had just happended, and what we had done to help... I am so proud of us all!
We carried on driving for the next hour and came to a tavern, where we decided to get alcohol! Packed this into the boot of the car and up Bunya Mountain we went!
Time was ticking and dusk was approaching fast....once we got to the top and after great discussion as to whether we would stay in a B&B or came we decided to camp (judging by the fact it was $75 for the B&B fo $4 to camp!).....
Lis took the pics while Hilanda and I pitched up the tent...
Lis took a pic of herself ha ha ha...
After set up we decided to have some tea mmmm were were starving!
Lis loved the torch!!!
We had a right laugh..... and then it was lights out..... night night....
to be continued..........
