Karen off to the Gulf County
Today Karen flew to Boroloola where she will meet up with the doctor flying from Alice Springs, from there they will get a single engine plane and fly on to Kiana
classed as very remote in the Gulf country .
On the last Barkley Mobile run they were unable to land as the airstrip there is too short for the twin-engine plane.
At Kiana there is station, a community and a school which haven’t had any health services for quite a while.
The Doctor who has been with Karen on a number of trips to the stations in the Barkly said, she has a torch and a stethoscope and left it to Karen to organise things.
Robert and I helped at Karen to the plane this morning with 12 bags, of equipment and medicines.
Everyone should be well catered for.
The computer has been out for a couple of days after a storm put Telstra out for a while.
It has been nice getting some rain.
Be in touch in a few days.
