We spend a few days at Sea breeze in Airlie
Beach to give Hugo a chance to take it easy. He sleeps in the afternoon, big
sleeps. Our next agenda item is not for a few weeks. We are lined up to do some
work in Collarenebri, where our Australian Medical Career first started. But
that is not scheduled until the 10th of November, so plenty of time.
Ochre Health, the company we work for, has
invited us to visit their newly acquired surgery in Hervey Bay, it might be a
place we would like to work and live. So that is where we'll go. Hervey Bay is
well known for its ferry to Fraser Island, and the extensive whale watching if
the season is right. It doesn't really have an old city center but there is a
somewhat underdeveloped promenade. We park the bus near the splash zone,
appropriately called a water education park, and have a splash first.
There are
hundreds of water-facts signposted on the fence-poles, and there is a beautiful
whale sculpture in the middle of the play area.
The surgery itself has a lot of
promise. We get a very nice reception from the practice manager and the doctor
there. To get an even better understanding about the area we have also booked
an appointment at a local school. The children love it.
The view over Fraser Island and the lovely
temperature have a lot of appeal. The pier is a great excuse for a photo shoot.
We have a simple meal in the harbour and
finish our stay the next day with another splash in the water education park.
