I wanted to avoid talking about it because of the fear and worry it would have caused amongst my well wishers. Looks like the Australian media had no such qualms about it. The constant news articles in SMH and The Age in the last days have had many concerned friends and family worried about my safety.
Firstly, thank you for all our emails, facebook messages and texts. I personally have not been harmed and am holding up ok. I will not comment on a public blog on the happenings but rest assured that I'm safe and in no danger. It was a truly a freak incident and definitely not the norm. I feel quite safe in Goroka and have never once felt that I was in any physical danger.
The incident has left us all in a pensive mood here - more out of concern for our friends that for our own personal safety. We have also been given utmost support from AusAid and VIDA for which I am extremely grateful.
Thank again.
Can we please just change the topic now?
