Day 88 Belombre Station 3

 Another slow morning, and we headed over to the farmstay and Matt was back into working on the Wifi system in the under construction Reception area. I sat in the dining room and started to write a story of our adventure for the support group newsletter for people like me living on TPN -  PNDU- Parenteral Nutrition Down Under. It’s very hard to summarise not just the 3 months but, also the 12 months it took to plan and organise the medical deliveries and aspect of the trip. But I want to encourage others to travel and to share the story with the staff at Baxter Pharmaceuticals, to show them what they helped me to be able to do, so it’s important to write and share our story in this way. It’s hard to really describe how grateful I am to be able to have done what we have achieved and to see and experience all that we have; to be well enough and strong enough to do all the walks and long days, to have the TPN shipped to these remote places. I spent a few hours today and will need more time to finish it, and then to choose photos to match. But I am enjoying the writing.

We watched the tour group that had stayed here overnight, reboard the little plane and taxi out from the carpark and onto the runway and take off. It was great to watch. I then went and helped Fiona for a bit, before I went and had a rest and returned to continue helping Fiona. Matt had finished the wifi and was doing other odd jobs, as the farmstay is an ongoing work in progress to get the aesthetics done and add more facilities and rooms, to make it more accessible and functional. There is a huge to do list, and it’s very hard to get trades out to help. We are more than happy to help out where we can, and wish we had more time to help them further. As there were no guests tonight, we got to eat back at the homestead together, and talk about all sorts of things. A lovely way to spend the evening.
