Cluxing along the Scenic Rim Trail

A slip in time — a simple injury and relearning the medical system

July 2nd, 2021, a day which will live in annoyancy, I slipped on a slightly sloped wet boulder along the Kangaroo Creek trail in Royal National Park. From that brief moment of clumsiness, I would struggle to walk normally for six weeks. Trigger warning: If you have issues reading a…
