Well here we are in the Northern Territory. The
three musketeers- plus Jim ;) Ever been into a sauna with your clothes on and
stayed in there for 24 hours? Well, that’s what Darwin feels like. However, the
wet season hasn’t been as wet as I was expecting. It does rain, and
torrentially, a crazy amount at a time, but only for about half an hour or so.
Yesterday on the way back from a big shop up at Officeworks and Bunnings we
drove through a black cloud and out into sunshine on the other side which was
pretty bizarre for us Melbournians. We’ve been very efficiently (thanks to
Rita’s excellent list-making and delegation skills) navigating shops all around
Darwin gathering supplies for a month long stay in Minyerri.
Getting pretty
excited about meeting the kids and getting started with my art activities, but
also fairly nervous as it will be my first experience in such a remote setting.
Had a great day filming some scenes for our ‘welcome’ video, to show the kids,
of us mucking about and generally being acrobatic geniuses in the hotel pool.
Today’s other highlight included having the freshest fish we’d ever tasted,
Barra of course. Also, as my friends and family will be pleased to know, I have
yet to have sighted any crocs. I think I had prepared myself to see them just
wandering around main street Darwin, but thankfully this doesn’t seem to be the
case!
That's all from me for now, more activity plans to work on
before bed. Two sleeps to go!
