MONDAY 14 JUNE     PERTH

At 9am, John phoned the ENT specialist that he had been referred to, from Geraldton, and was given an appointment – on Thursday!

We walked to the Karrinyup shopping centre. John did not feel very well as we walked there, but was better after a sit down and a drink at the centre.

We browsed the shops for a few hours, and had lunch there.

It was frustrating that we were having to fritter time away like this, but it was best to get the health thing sorted before we went really remote. If we got to go remote at all! Given the state of medical services in a place like Geraldton, I couldn’t begin to imagine them further north!
