After a very busy start to 2026 we spent Sunday driving up to Broken Hill for this weeks fully booked clinic.
It was a lovely cool morning at home as the sun began to rise. Driving up the Calder where some of the recent fires had been a stop was a must.
The Alpacas just out of Marong were in abundance and enjoying some visitors. We stopped in Swan Hill to restock, refuel and stretch our legs.
On the outskirts of Robinvale some very BIG grapes were roadside and I had to stop to see them.
Archie and Allie travel well; our final stop was in Gol Gol where we stopped and spent some time enjoying the scenery and the cool grass (no concrete or paths for the precious babies).

Arriving in Broken Hill the Silver City Hwy was quiet. Not too many goats or emus along the way. Most cars did give the wave 👋🏻

Looking forward to seeing you over the coming days Broken Hill 🕵🏻‍♀️👩🏼‍⚕️👩🏼‍🏫👩🏼‍💻🔪🩸🩺💉💊🧬

Preparing for the last trip of 2025. Cars have been cleaned once again by Total Detailing Solutions: thank you Bill for your incredible service this year.

Having a vehicle that gets us from clinic and home again is so important, and a huge shout out to Sunbury Tyrepower, Ararat Tyrepower and Tyrepower Swan Hill for the fast and efficient tyre repairs and replacement this year. Pot holes are many in our travels, and for me, have been more dangerous than wildlife on the roads this year.

The decision today is which car…. They have names 😂🤣😂

Big Gerry and Little Gerry. 🥰🥰🥰

Looking forward to seeing you soon Swan Hill 🥰🥰🥰🕵🏻‍♀️👩🏼‍💻👩🏼‍🏫👩🏼‍⚕️🎄🎄

There is no recommendation in this country to have skin checks unless you are “high risk”. Without being out in the areas I service it would seem that some think annual checks are a waste.

This patient attended 18 months ago, and put his follow up appointment off by 6 months this year. Thankfully he has had a follow up this week, where a suspected melanoma was found, and excised.

This is why, when you ask me how often you should have a check, I recommmend annually (sometimes more often depending on your risk factors).

Another life saved (local HCP had advised this was nothing to be concerned about).

That’s a wrap for Skin Checks and Dermatology in Portland for 2025. A HUGE thank you to Margaret at Portland Health Hub for allowing me to run my skin cancer and dermatology clinics from the fabulous rooms there. The flexibility with hours at these rooms, means servicing the community in the south west of Victoria can be extended when required for urgent cases.

I’ll be back March, June, September and December next year, heading into my 8th year of travelling from Melbourne to the beautiful place that is Portland 🩵🥰🕵🏻‍♀️👩🏼‍⚕️👩🏼‍💻

Merry Christmas to you all, and remember to be UV Wise™ ☀️🌤️⛅️🌦️☁️🌥️⛈️❄️
