9 August Waskesiu Lake at Prince Albert National Park in Northern Saskatchewan is our stop today on the way to the next doctor meeting. A welcome oasis after yesterday’s crazy long drive through desert and fields. As a descendant of a Ukrainian mother it’s been very interesting to me to...
Thursday 2 Aug Away from the mountains heading south to the warmer climes where they grow all the delicious summer fruits and to meet up with another dr down there. Had an overnight stop in Kamloops to break the journey and went to the B.C. wildlife park which is a...
Headed out of Jasper to Miette Hot Springs – there is more beautiful scenery than you can poke a stick at here. Stopped at the site of the Jasper house trading post in the days of the fur trade. Interesting to see how much the Indigenous people and the Europeans...
Sunday 29th July On to Radium Hot Springs in the beautiful Kootenay National Park. The scenery was amazing even though the sky was quite hazy with smoke from bushfires throughout the state. It was a sight for sore eyes to see the wild Bighorn sheep wandering around in a herd...

7 July Headed back to Deer Lake today so we could meet with Dr Dave Thomas who is chief of staff at Port Aux Basques (but he was flying back into Deer Lake from a.course). Driving there we went through a traffic control that just let us through at the...
So the planes are getting smaller as we head West.. Although after 17 years on and off working for the Royal Flying Doctor Service I’m used to much smaller. In a week’s time we’ll be on an even smaller float plane so can’t wait for that. Straight from Deer Lake...
It seems I’m not the only one who assumed Bay of Fires is named after the beautiful firey-orange lichen covered rocks that line the white sandy beaches where they meet the turquoise blue sea. Seems like a fair assumption to me. Turns out though it was named in 1773 by...
Off to Tasmania now! Got a phone call from the car rental company checking what time we were coming in as they closed at 6. Seemed very keen to ensure they got away on time today. So of course Murphy’s law dictated that today was the day our flight would...
