DAY 60(04/10)

---

80 Mile Beach(80) to Dales Gorge (9786 km to 10348 km) with about 2 hours spent with stroke patient. About 30 km north of Pardoo Roadhouse we noticed a light truck do a U turn in front of us and started to chase down a winnebago towing a susuki 4WD on a trailer which was driving all over the road forcing oncoming cars into gravel. The right wheel of trailer came off with the winnebago continuing and the sparks from swerving started a small brush fire and slowly parts of trailer started to litter the road. The light truck tried going up both sides of the winnebago numerous times and eventually made its way in front of winnebago and able to get the driver to stop. We attended to driver with the couple in light truck who was dysphasic(GCS = 12) . Another young driver stopped and as there was no communication he offered to go to Pardoo to ring Ambulance and upon returning Driver was still confused (GCS = 14) and Ambulance coming from Port Headland so ~90 min wait so we transported winnebago driver to the cooler Pardoo Roadhouse. The driver remained confused and was handed over to Port Headland Ambulance.(Sorry no photos or video as I was driving and Sandy looking out for debris off trailer) Then on arriving at Dales Gorge camp ground we arrived ~1 to 2 hours after father and son had fallen off cliff with father dying and as you would expect gorge closed.(Too late to move to another campsite).

CADES DIARY

Campervan all over the road in front of us , it had a broken trailer and bits were flying off everywhere.
We stopped to help the driver - he was having a stroke.
