well, we've returned to broken hill, after many adventures. this morning i was swimming up a narrow gorge in mutawintji national park; ash, and henri were chasing mountain goats up the walls of the gorge, quiet times were happening on cliff tops and in caves and by pools. this afternoon we wandered around a largely closed silverton and then watched the sun set over the mundi mundi plains - kind of the end of the earth. yesterday we spent exploring the gorges and rock pools of mutawintji. the day before that we had learnt some indigenous dances (alex and kara were very convincing emus, dave and stef learnt a shame dance, and ash made a great kangaroo), kaz and i spent a long time lying on the verandah at the wilcannia hospital overlooking the darling; and we learnt about solar power generation, opals and underground living at white cliffs.
we've painted the drop in centre at wilcannia, learnt some indigenous games, slept in the shearing quarters at kinchega national park and been rained in at menindee lakes.
aaron returned to us today after the birth of his third child: sophie grace arabella.
i'm attempting to upload some photos now, although i think initially it'll only be a few.
tomorrow we're going to go op shopping in broken hill and explore a little, then play some wide games in the creek bed.
we're heading to swan hill on sunday. hopefully in the next 24 hours some of the crew will share some of their experiences with you.
please post messages if you read this, it's great to have that interaction.

Hey there Year 9's, Skids, Garry and Aaron. It's so good to read your blog. Actually makes me wish I was out there with you - you're seeing and experiencing a bunch of stuff I never have, and it makes me a little envious. Here I am in my little house in the middle of Melbourne - three neighbours can look directly into my living area. I walk out onto the street and there's trams and busyness and chaos.....no gorges, no open plains, no beautiful sunsets on the horizon....you've got heaps to be thankful for. Savour the moments, be humble and learn, be open and love each other well, and seek the Truth.....there's much to behold and discover. Enjoy the last few days.
