Have arrived in Longreach - the Longreach Show is on this weekend, so great that Penny had booked our accommodation well in advance.  (All the accommodation has been great!)

Had a great time in Port Macquarie - catching up with friends (It is about 20 years since I moved from Port Macquarie – a bit slower pace than the Central Coast), nice to slow down and ‘catch my breath’!  Had 2 events that I spoke at on Saturday - an afternoon tea and then at a local Church after a BBQ dinner. Approximately 170 people have learned about the MDG's and the Maternity Ambulance project.

The launch of the road trip went well on May 4, with about 70 attending, including the Parliamentary Secretary Mr Bob McMullan and his Chief of Staff, Margaret Watt, and local MP’s.

Two days remaining before the official launch of the Road trio and the last stages of preparation are underway. Seats are booked for the first presentation of Millennium Development Goals of the trip, to be held at the Erina Rotary Club on launch day.
