Regrouping
in
St
George
Bruce's
Report:
Sunday
was
a
day
of
rest
repairing
gear,
downloading
film,
writing
reports,
resting
Steve's
tired
"old"
body
and
repacking
the
trailer
and
kayaks.
Genevieve
Hussey
and
the
7.30
Report
camera
crew
arrived
after
lunch
and
the
afternoon
was
spent
filming
along
the
edge
of
the
river.
Thanks
again
to
Rick
and
Sharon
at
the
Kapunda
Fishing
Park
for
access
through
their
property.
Monday
morning
saw
the
7.30
Report
crew
back
doing
interviews
and
filming
at
the
campsite.
We
really
enjoyed
working
with
Genevieve,
Gordon
and
Basil.
Look
out
for
their
report
on
the
trip
in
the
next
week
or
so.
We
are
off
to
interview
the
mayor
this
afternoon.
We
must
thank
Robert
and
Desley
for
their
hospitality
and
generosity
during
our
stay
in
St
George.
A
special
thanks
to
Farnie
Swanepoel
from
Global
Satelliite
Phones
and
Data
Communications
Pty
Ltd.
Kerrie
and
I
(Bruce)
have
been
concerned
that
when
Steve
gets
into
the
river
we
lose
communication
with
him
and
this
will
become
a
more
serious
situation
when
we
get
south
of
the
border
in
remote
areas
along
the
Darling.
I
spoke
to
Farnie
about
the
issue
and
the
next
day
he
had
arranged
another
satellite
phone
for
us.
We
now
have
reliable
communication
and
can
confidently
send
Steve
out
knowing
he'll
be
able
to
contact
us
with
GPS
coordinates
so
we
know
exactly
where
he
is.
Thanks
again
Farnie!
Steve's
Report:
We
are
in
St
George.
Yesterday
I
had
a
day
off
and
the
same
today.
My
body
is
feeling
great
after
the
rest
but
my
feet
are
still
sore
for
the
first
hour.
When
I
get
up
I
am
sometimes
unstable
on
my
feet
for
a
while
but
they
soon
come
right.
The
mayor
here
is
a
character.
He
likes
numbers
so
when
he
tells
us
the
name
of
someone
he
recites
their
phone
number
at
the
same
time.
Like
all
mayors,
he
knows
everyone
and
he
has
been
here
most
of
his
life
so
he
knows
lots
of
history.
Today
(Monday)
we
are
enjoying
ourselves
reading
letters
from
the
Rangeville
school
in
Toowoomba.
They
are
wonderful
letters
and
all
of
us
enjoy
them.
