Day 31. We went up with Kimberley Air over the Ord River, Argyle Dam and the Bungle Bungles and also took a look at the largest diamond mine in the world, Argyle Diamonds. The two hour flight was excellent. The views are amazing and the commentary knowledgeable and interesting. The Bungles certainly are unique. They really don't resemble anything we have seen so far, with their distinctive beehive shapes, brought about by a unique combination of location and wind...

Day 30. Quick visit to Hospital to set up a doctor's appointment for RM and to liaise on further treatment with Darwin specialist. All arranged for Friday pm.

It confirmed the diagnosis and current treatment. It also showed how serious his condition had become! Treatment just in time apparently! Tomorrow, we return to Kununurra Hospital to find out where to from here.

Day 28. Last night we had a wonderful dinner at the Pump Room on Lake Kununurra. I don't know of many such places where you dine overlooking crocodiles eating fish in the water right next to you. The resident croc is called Hans and a newcomer croc is called Luigi, as he likes pizza. Before we left, our lovely neighbors here provided a lamington birthday cake and candle for me. RM had mentioned to someone news of my birthday. Today we drove up to Wyndham for t...

Day 27. Hooray. RM has returned from Darwin. He looks very much better and feels almost 100%. Still a bit of oddness in the mouth but this is lessening and no headache, eye problems etc. Pills are working. We still await the biopsy and will make plans once we know the result there. Thanks to everyone who emailed or phoned. You helped to keep us positive. The people here at the van park have also been terrific. Elle is delighted RM is back and lies on his feet, ge...
