Day 34- Charters Towers

Lazed around the van park, Jordy jumped on the jumping pillow, played at the park, and rode his bike around the place. We got a call to say we could look at the Ambulance museum at 11 so we headed into town just in time for that.

Spent a good hour looking through the museum. Apart from old surgical tools, and defibrillators, and uniforms etc they had book upon massive book of all the ambulance records since their first case in 1904. You could read the log books which recorded the patient, age, occupation, address, injury, history, distance travelled to get to them, number of ambos required, where the patient was taken to etc etc. Some of the cases were rather interesting.
Jordy was given a lovely stuffed bear by the man at the museum so he has dragged that around with him since. :) He keeps managing to score stuff from half the places we visit- like a carved timber koala, wooden hanging photo thing of a bunch of puppies, colouring in book, cookies!, a thickshake, chocolates! and the list goes on....

Bought a microphone so we can chat properly on the webcam thingy so feel free to MSN us for a chat!

Home for some lunch and a swim. Mid afternoon we packed a bag of chips and a few beers and went down to Centenary Park. Jordy played with some kids in the playground and we had a wander around the little sculpture display thing (an actual re-enactment of the discovery of gold except the little boy is mysteriously missing) and had a beer and a chat.

Steak and vegies for dinner with a few prawns and florentine potatoes to jazz things up. Darcy has been having a shit of a time of a night recently so early to bed for us again.
