The Doc’s Great Adventure is on hold while The Doc recovers from serious injuries from a recent car accident. The other driver, for reasons unknown to The Doc, drifted to his side of the road causing an offset head on collision. The combined impact speed was estimated between 150 and 180kph.

The Doc was only 20 kilomters away from his destination when the accident occurred. His first trip since the lockdown and after completing consulting work.

Thankfully the last thing the Nissan Patrol did was save his life, but the car is written off. Sadly, the other driver is deceased.

The Doc hopes his next trip will be to Newhaven, AWC’s central Australian sanctuary in May 2023.
