Shirley, where did you get the gas bottle tested? sound like a good price for that service.

The lucky campers are enjoying themselves too much to come back here to report I suspect.

We are at Shoal Bay (Nelson Bay area) and it is freeeeeeeezing, huge winds and big rain squalls. Not unhappy, but very unimpressed.

Terry did Margaret loose her toe?

The trip to the specialist finally answered this question, the bandages where so big you couldn't tell what was foot and what was wrapping. Poor Margaret suffered all Thursday night with pains similar to before the surgery as well as other pains she associated with the effects of the anaesthetic as they were similar to the pain she suffered after the toe nail removal. She finally nodded off o sleep and it was 12:30 and time for the trip to the specialist. Talk about a nervous nelly, later she sad it was fear of the pain involved with the bandage removal but I think it was probably fear of an unsuccessful op and it would all have to be repeated.
Finally, the big unwrapping.... and it looks to me as though none of it is missing, no toe nail again but the obvious signs where it was removed, a hole where the toe nail was with a stitch in it, and that was about it. The doctor removed the stitch and the pain began to ease, it was the swelling pulling on the stitch and all the soaked bandage stuck to the wound pulling as the toe swelled and all that adding pressure to the open bone wound. Once it was all relieved the pain subsided to a normal after operation pain level and the smiles replaced the tears. Now all the missed sleep over the last mths is being caught up, but at the moment it appears to be a win
