Do you have some variety of tour guide/excursion leader? Please report ill. Hiding in the loo won’t help anything. Minimum you need fluids and somebody to collect you from destination.

There are, all volunteers though. Also we're in the middle of the outback and on our way towards home but won't arrive until tomorrow evening. We do have a stop at a hotel tonight at around 6-7pm, but there's no way to get there sooner. I could potentially organise a lift from the hotel back home, but might not be able to

They can probably sort you out with some Panadol or Nurofen to help ease the inflammation a little. Probably can get you some plain bread or something at lunch. When you stop for lunch find a spot in the sun and get some fluids into you. I'm sorry you got sick on your adventure.

Not ideal. Still please speak up to whomever. If it’s not motion sickness you need care and semi quarantine. Best! πŸ΅πŸ’Š

It's not just me that's sick. Nobody else is as a sick as me, but a few people came on the train on Thursday coughing and sneezing, and then over the last couple of days I've watched more and more people get sick
