Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

story two from the outback series!

One such plane trip I made was a 3-4 hr flight [frequent stopping off flight] from out capital city to an outback town with its own small health services. After hopping about for a while we landed at the small airstrip. I fell out and stretched my legs looked around for the battery car and trolley to collect our luggage. Couldn’t see one, so marched off to the airport lounge to meet our contact, who would take us to the hospital where accommodation was located.

Where’s ya luggage the guy asked – oh I have to wait for it – no ya don’t he replied – the pilot is unloading it and you’ll need to go back and collect it! Talk about embarrassment on my part. The rest of the stay of three days went well. We got to visit a banana plantation compliment of another presenter – visited all three pubs in town including the ‘Aboriginal only’ one and even had time to drive out for a few hrs and found some rock paintings on a natural rock structure stretching half a mile and 100 ft high. We saw the mysterious art painting of an old sailing vessel!

we called in to collect another staff member as we drove further west to the coast for our next engagement. On her kitchen wall to our amazement pinned up was a full sized golden eagle. Where the feerrk did you get that we asked - found it dead on the road - some of them can't get up in the air fast enough when the huge lorry trains come along and get hit. On another trip I'll tell you about the doctor who operated on a smaller eagle!

If you backstab a mate,

you'll get it back in spades-so don't pout.

Karma works at both ends of the scale,
it's aware of the good things you do.
So when you show compassion
in a warm human fashion,
Karma will look after you.
