It's funny how some places leave an impression on you. This has been one of those places for me. I will not miss the trips to the loo in the middle of the night - though I did get a fantastic view of the stars and the milky way. I will not miss the cold of the caravan in the last couple of nights. I will however miss the people, Sarah and Gus, Rodney, Macca, Al, Harvey (the backs healing up now!!), Dave (monkey), Lynette and her mom at the video shop where I sent all of my e-mails from, plus other too numerous to mention (you who know me know what I am like with names).
Toogoolawah and the general area are just so down to earth, with some beautiful scenery and a much better pace of life - as for the Ramblers Skydive, I and most other skydivers could not ask for more.
One final thing before I close, the local radio station Valley FM 95.9 fm is run by Anna Wheildon, Anna used to work for the BBC. I met Anna and her husband Ken a few days before I left, Anna was kind enough to allow me a live interview on her radio programme (12/6). It allowed me to talk about my journey and the charity NACC - this is the first time I have been in a radio studio - it seemed to go OK and I was thankful to be able to talk about Colitis and Crohns disease and the aims of NACC. I am a bit behind in writing this as Internet access has taken me a while to sort out. john 18/6
