The day began with a nightshift report from the Hunter’s van – Gordie had been in “agony” with the stick hole in the arch of his foot and had had to take painkillers to sleep….. Branch came to inspect and found the foot completely bandaged – must be one mighty big wound (??NOT??). Lady Macgyver had run out of Duoderm which was the answer to the issue and so a trip to the chemist was in order today. As we had planned to go to the Port Douglas Marina markets today (much to the guys delight!!) the purchase of appropriate dressing material would be easy!

Trev had gone out early and put the drone up on Newell Beach capturing some great early morning shots of the area…

Before we left, Frank came over and let us know further good news re his son – a continued answer to prayer and we spent some time talking to Frank about how God works through prayer – he is so keen to keep in contact with Gordie and Trev he gave us his phone number and has offered us a place to stay at his acreage if we are ever down that way in Victoria. He introduced us to his wife Jude who was also lovely and we agreed to come back to happy hour that afternoon to spend some time with them.

We drove in to Port Douglas and spent the morning browsing the shops and markets while Gordie and Trev went for a bike ride.

Lunch at one of the pubs and an easy afternoon was then followed by happy hour at the caravan park with the residents as we had promised Frank ….
