A day with Dayna



On our arrival to Dayna’s family home, we were made to feel very at home. After a fantastic meal and hot shower that I had dreamed about for days (this is what 5 days without a shower, dose to me. Though the lake at Mount Cobbler and the river at Mcakillops Bridge were fantastic),a cozy bed awaited us. 

After sleeping like a log we wake to the buzz of the house. After a homemade breakfast we were taken out for the day to see Mount Bushwalker.

During the walk we saw Digo cross dogs, another water fall without any water and Sara (Dayna’s sister) impressed me greatly and enabled me to truly see what my clients could do if they put their minds to it. Sara is vision impaired and has 10% vision. But this did not stop her walking the 7 km bush walk we completed. To assist her with the walk she used a long cane and at times needed description from the group. With this assistance Sara was able to overcome steep hills, uneven ground, stepping stones and unsteady board walk which was only two feet wide.

On our return to the house I assisted Sara with making her own bus number cards and Dayna taught me how to make lobster parcels and we had a great family evening around the table with her grandparents.
