I would like to thank the guys to Mudgee Hospital ED unit. Rachael and Laura were so kind caring and compassionate. They really know how to make someone feel so much better with there quick action.

I would like to say a big thank you to the people of Gulgong who helped us out when our caravan towball sheared off whilst crossing the railway line heading for Milliwa.
When this mishap occurred, we were being followed by a young man named Roger who stopped to give us a hand. He drove me to a local shop to get a new towball and while we were away a local council crew stopped and calmed and looked after my wife, while also lifting up our van so when we came back all we had to do was fit the new towball hook back up and be on our way. All done in half an hour.
Once again, a very big thank to the people of Gulgong.
