Imaginif tips the top for case notes

I’m on my way to the top – the tip of Australia. Talk doctor Rebekah was this next week booked to go to Bamaga for the delivery of a case note training…but, talk doctor Rebekah is sick (nothing easy mind you, pneumonia no less!) so I am going up to deliver the training.

Bamaga is a beautiful place and I love visiting there. The most northerly town in Australia, Bamaga is located 61 km north of the Jardine River and 983 km north of Cairns. Bamaga is in Queensland, right on the northern tip, and it is an isolated settlement of some 2000 people, most of whom are Torres Strait Islanders. Facilities are limited and supplies are either shipped or flown in. I LOVE it and it is my ideal tropical paradise mini break. Flying up over the length of the Great Barrier Reef is spectacular. The variation in colours has never ceased to amaze and delight me…and the local people: what a delight they mostly are. There are still the social problems that plague most communities (child abuse, domestic violence, unemployment, drug and alcohol addictions, etc) but Bamaga is so close to my born place of Papua new Guinea that I always feel comfortable there – like I have arrived home.

I will be away from Imaginif for Monday and Tuesday: again without phone or internet . All of my supervision appointments have been rescheduled and step father placed on Boy duty. Amanda will be here at Imaginif (Cairns) to book appointments, answer enquiries and keep the coffee pot brewing. Should you need to talk to someone at Imaginif (or book for a massage), Amanda is that someone of first contact (07 4032 5034). Her hours are: Monday all day, Tue, Wed, and Thursday until 12 noon.

See you Wednesday.
