Yeah...there will be an overnight in Townsville!  Such a pain in the butt but at least I will be going home!


And it is much easier than mud...and at least I don't have to be in a car for 55 hours!

Try two weeks...still have 3 weeks of holidays left so I will sacrifice 2 for sleep!  Then I have an aboriginal ceremony to go to further up on the Cape!  A special ceremony for me...I got adopted by one of the tribes up there...hehehe!  So cool!  I get an indigenous name!

I will give you a run-down on the whole thing when it happens...I'm really not sure what happens...I'm just as curious!  But one of the tribes up there took a shining to me and wanted me to be part of their family in some way!

Hahaha...I'd be beating them off too but never hurts to have indigenous support up there...they are the ones after all that own the land!  Not too many people get taken in by the aboriginals...they usually mock the white people!

JD, do you remember that Midnight Oil DVD where the band goes in to the Outback (not the restaurant) and plays a couple of shows with the Aboriginal band? A sad story about the male population on the reservations, talk about "huffing" diesel fuel until they kill themselves, by mistake but dead in the end.
