O'Neills Creek Reserve revisited
Permalink  

Friday left Sheffield after the murals walk with Patty and drove 14 kms to O'Neills Creek Reserve with Billeee and Julie, I had been there on the 19th January for a couple of days. A few pictures were uploaded here:-   http://yeoeleven.blogspot.com.au/2013/01/beaconsfield-and-oneills-picnic-park.html


Patty had friends to see at Latrobe so she went there until Saturday and met up with us at O'Neills, we have been quietly relaxing and mixing with the other campers. We did the O'Neills Reserve walk up to the registration point for the Mt Roland walk but lacked the enthusiasm for longer hikes.


Not sure when we will leave or where we will go to when we do, our next objective is the Wynyard Peacefest on the 22nd,23rd,24th of February.


Showed Patty the O'Neills Reserve walk and tripped up falling heavily my left hand ribs striking a raised wooden section of the first bridge. Was stunned for a while trying to catch my breath eventually getting up and taking deep breaths, continued the walk but am suffering later as my body cools down. Will struggle later putting my bed in order but tomorrow is another day.


Jules cooked us silverside on the Cobb Cooker whilst Billeee did a good job steaming vegetables, was not too sore to miss out on that, very nice it was too.

We have decided to stay another day here to see how my body wakes up in the morning.   John

I hope your feeling better today John.

I had to switch from the 7in tablet (that I'm learning to use) to the laptop to complete this post. The post took off before I had finished typing.

Anyway I look forward to following you.

Helen

Hi John,
Sorry to hear about the slipup, best wishes for a speedy recovery! Hope it doesn't dampen Peacefest.

Thanks for the best wishes, I am feeling better now 2 days after the fall bt still have sore ribs.

Tuesday morning and we haven't decided whether to stay another day or move on to Penguin for a couple of days it is raining so travelling will build up the batteries whereas the solar will not. Decisions decisions how hard is it this nomadic lifestyle?

John

How is the breathing John ?   Are you sure the ribs are Ok ?  Just don't want you having anything like I had a few months ago.

Take care,

Sheba.
