    We drive into Corryong - keen to check it out, and see what it looks like before the hustle and bustle with next week's festival being held here. We head straight to the MFSRBF office which is at the back of the MFSR Corryong Visitor Centre. We park, and go into the office and collect our volunteer kits - very exciting, seeing all the Merchandise (organised chaos - stuff stacked all over the place) as well. Next go for a walk to see what we can find for lunch. We're too late in the day for the cafes - so we just catch the Bakery in time to get a pie, beesting and iced coffee (carton) for Roger, and sausage roll, jelly cake and fruit juice for me. We return to the park behind the Visitor Centre (beside where our ute's parked) to sit at a picnic table and enjoy our meal. Next we hop back in the ute - me thinking we'll drive to check out where the festival's held (we do, but a little later) to have Roger find where he can get some medical attention - his ears are playing up. We start with Corryong Medical Clinic - they tell Rog to go to the 'next driveway along' to follow signage to 'Urgent Care Centre'. Roger is 'wrapped' with the service he received here - nurses (2) checked his ears and immediately organised a doctor 'phone consult' as they could see his ears are infected. Doctor prescribed antibiotics (Amoxycillin SNZ capsules 500mg) and organised the script to be sent to the local chemist. We go to chemist and get them (I'm across the road, in the Visitor Centre getting my hatpin). Now go driving about town - checking out festival area and where we'll be camping - before returning to our 'Clack clack' camp.Read more
