Late Scratching
« on: June 24, 2012, 12:41:58 PM »
Well, those on the trip already know. For the rest of you..

We almost got to the starting line... In Cairns on Friday night, 12 hours before departure time, we went to visit friends in Trinity Beach and the Missus rolled her ankle on a curb... Went to dinner at the Trinity pub anyway (as you would :cheers:) but afterwards decided it was better to get it checked as she couldn't put any weight on it. Off to Cairns Base Hospital we go...

4 hours later it's confirmed that she's broken the ankle in 3 places  :'(

That's the end of our trip...  :'( :'(  Now stuck in Cairns waiting to go to a specialist on Tuesday to see if it needs to be pinned.

There better be another trip next year....

Bugger, why not leave your missus in Cairns with friends and do the trip solo :)

Bugger, you got closer than me, but I think that would make it worse. Maybe next year for both of us

There was a lady at Twin Falls yesterday with a broken leg in a wheelchair. They carried the wheelchair right down to the falls. That's dedication! There is always next year.

PS We are loving our Cape Adventure.
