Speaker 1: morning to you, Craig. How are you?

5
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, good morning Katie. Thanks to you. I thought i'd

6
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 2: just lost you there.

7
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: But haven't spoken to you for a little while. Have

8
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: you had a break?

9
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, a couple of weeks off doing a few trying

10
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 2: to get down to Brisbane and do a bit o.

11
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 2: Good on you got back on the weekend.

12
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: Good on you mate. You're a busy man and well

13
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: deserved break, I'm sure now, Craig. Speaking of busy, it

14
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,599
Speaker 1: was a busy one for you guys. On the weekend Friday,

15
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: Well at Dundee a fifty six year old male fell

16
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: three meters and had a still beam fall on top

17
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: of him.

18
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, look fairway out of town. Obviously, this incident happened,

19
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 2: and quite a strange one. He's fallen and the still beam,

20
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: obviously I assume he was working on, has come down

21
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: and camped him on the head, I believe, and obviously

22
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 2: require paramedics to go out and check him out and

23
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: getting back into the hospital where he could recover. So yeah, lucky,

24
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 2: but you know, obviously a long way out and it's

25
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 2: a lucky good result in the end that he's recovering

26
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 2: in hospital.

27
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: Well wow, So any idea if he like, was he

28
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: building something or what was the situation?

29
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, not really sure. I don't have that information in

30
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: front of me at the moment, but yeah, not too

31
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 2: sure exactly how it's all transpired.

32
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: Okay, but he is looking as though he's going to

33
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: be Okay.

34
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 2: Yep, he's recovering quite well in hospital.

35
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: That is lucky by the sounds of it.

36
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 2: Now.

37
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: On Saturday, about two o'clock in the afternoon Saturday, a

38
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: six year old female was stung by a jellyfish had

39
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 1: to be transported to the go of hospital. Yeah.

40
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: Look, it just happened about fifteen k's out of Numan boy,

41
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: And you know, we've spoken a few times this year

42
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 2: about these jellyfish things and another young girl you know,

43
00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: obviously stung, very excruciating painful injury. These I've unluckily had

44
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: it happened to me, and it is horrible and I

45
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 2: can leave severe scarring and obviously death in the severe cases.

46
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 2: So yep, she's recovering well, which is good. But you know,

47
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 2: he's the reminder Katie that April through sorry, October through

48
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: the April is stinger season and we should be probably

49
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,119
Speaker 2: trying to stay out of the water or make sure

50
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 2: that we're protected when we are in there if we

51
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: do need to be in the end of the sea.

52
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, very good advice, I know. On Sunday as well,

53
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: out of Victoria River, a twenty four year old male

54
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: was bitten by a brown snake.

55
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've had a lot of these this year, Codie,

56
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 2: right across the territory El Spring Dah and you know,

57
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 2: now out in Victoria River area, people obviously bitten. There's

58
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: a lot of rain this year, so a lot of growth,

59
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 2: and you know, I suppose a lot of food out

60
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 2: there for snakes, so they're moving around and unfortunately this

61
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 2: guy got bitten, but my understanding is didn't show any

62
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: side effects, but was transported to the hospital just in case,

63
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 2: and the station owner actually met the paramedics along the

64
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 2: way and we got into the hospital where he could

65
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 2: be monitored to make sure he wasn't in veminated.

66
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: It can be a very well, a pretty dire situation

67
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: when somebody is bitten by a brown snake can't it.

68
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 2: Look, you know, brown snakes that leave you know, can

69
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:27,119
Speaker 2: obviously kill you. They are very toxic venom and they

70
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: do leave quite nasty long term injuries just from the

71
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 2: toxic toxicity the poison. Has been trouble getting that word

72
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 2: out there.

73
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, when you say that's all right, when you say,

74
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: like long term injuries, when somebody is bitten by a

75
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: snake like that, what kind of long term injuries do

76
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: you sort of have to deal with them?

77
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 2: Well, a lot of it is about, you know, it

78
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 2: kills the skins, kills tissue. Like I said, the toxicity

79
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 2: of the venom can be quite nasty on a number

80
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 2: of your organs and obviously your tissue. So yeah, itok,

81
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 2: depends on how bad the in vemination is, because a

82
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: lot of snake bites actually don't veminate. It's more of

83
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 2: a scare tactic. You know, snakes, you know, you know,

84
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: a defensive but you know, obviously if you do get inveminated,

85
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: that's where the problems starts.

86
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, Craig. Just lastly, some good news Sunday nine am.

87
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 1: By the look of it, was there a Pineland's a

88
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: baby had to be delivered in the parents car.

89
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, they were heading to hospital, and obviously what

90
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 2: I understanding is Bob didn't want to wait to get

91
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 2: the hospital and decided that the best place to come

92
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: with is obviously a mumba's car, and paramedics met them

93
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: on the side of the road around Pineland there and

94
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 2: assisted mum and dad with the delivery, and then obviously

95
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 2: a little baby boy transported the hospital with mum to

96
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 2: just get a check up and make sure everything's good.

97
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: So goodness made do you know if she was the

98
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: first time mum?

99
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 2: I think number three, Oh so at.

100
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: Least at least used or at least sort of added

101
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: of an understanding of what to expect.

102
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 2: She knew what to expect.

103
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh goodness, mate, they're always you know, it's always

104
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: such a nice story when a baby is born, but

105
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: you know, when it's on the side of the road,

106
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: you want to make sure that everything is okay and

107
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: that that baby is all right. And by the sounds

108
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: of it, both mum and baby boy in good health.

109
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 2: Yep, everyone's doing well.

110
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,599
