6/3/16 Bent , busted & broken !!

 Well , what a day we’ve had . Starting out this morning , we drove into Bunbury to go for a ride around the Leschenault Inlet . All good , we find a parking spot near Koombana Bay beach and unload the bikes , off we go , down past the caravan park , onto the bike track and we are all go . Signs on the track indicate a steep incline / decline - now , we are riding beside the water - only a metre or so above it , occasionally 2 maybe 3m - steep incline ????? There were some drainage dips that the track passed through - there was our steep incline / decline !!! All good , we go down the first one , then up again , then shortly after is another steeper one . I made it up and turned to see Lyn not quite make it and fall over , I quickly turned and helped her up , bruised ego , a bit of skin off one knee , but a very sore wrist . Gathering everything together , thoughts etc , we started walking to the ute - only about 500m away . We stopped at a seat and I walked back to get the ute .  When I returned , we got an ice pack onto the swelling , put her arm into a sling , then I loaded the bikes & gear , then got Lyn in the ute and we drove round to the emergency department, spending the next 3 & a bit hours getting assessed , X rayed , CT scanned and finally plastered . Lyn’s wrist has a break , fortunately it wasn’t displaced ( the bones hadn’t moved) and were still in place , meaning only a plaster part slab was required . Even better , there wasn’t a lot of pain and fingers & thumbs moved easily !!! 
 Eventually , we got away from the hospital , and went back to Koombana Bay to have some lunch - it was 2:45 pm - we were a tad hungry !! 
 Sight seeing today has been somewhat curtailed , but Koombana Bay has a few different sections to it . There’s the Yacht Club bay & moorings , the beach and dolphin discovery section , then there’s a small beach near the old jetty site , and also the entrance to Leschenault Inlet where all the boats go in & out from the Power Boat Club , then there’s the port section where they load wheat & other minerals etc .






 After watching the boats for a while , we headed back to the farm , day done !!    Completely !!!
