The Fitzroy Valley has shifted seasons
since I was last here. The daytime temperature has reduced from 43 degrees to a
mild 35 degrees. Broad storm fronts have caused the Fitzroy River to swell and
rise up the banks. Grasshopper plagues peppered the windscreen and filled up
the gaps in the front grill of the car.
“Drive for 15 minutes up the highway, then turn right at the big hill”
Once again, I was privileged to visit a small Aboriginal community. A group of four year olds led me to the clinic, then went back to their stick and rock games. There was a lot of laughter, possibly induced by my new broad-brimmed hat. It was a fantastic paediatric clinic. The cheeky kids and proud mums gave me the impression that Bayulu is thriving.
