Third term is well underway

Gary, an artist at the Warlayirti Gallery has painted all of the AFL teams on car bonnets that will be on display on the MCG at some stage.  He has painted me a Cats picture....love it!

My manky couch has been replaced at last.  This one is very comfortable.


We had a bit of fun when one of the girls brought in a tube of pink lipstick.  It is hard to tell in this picture but we all had pink lipstick on.....even the boys.  Only one of the boys wanted to be in the photo, but the lipstick came off very quickly when the photo was taken.

Each week a child from every class wins an award for positive behaviour.  The little fellow on the cushion won his class award, but was asleep when it was presented!!  So we moved the photo to him!




Lots of red dirt!  There is no end to it......on my clothes, in the car, staining my feet and on my floors.
We made another trip out to the lookout site in the pound.



This weeks sunset.  So amazing.



Some new band equipment arrived, so some of the local boys were putting on a show.




The kids loved to dance on the roof.



Dancing on the roof as the sun sets.





We made a wand in class last week.  This was lots of fun....but I will never get all of the sparkles out of the carpet!!

The kids were showing off their work on their feelings

The kids did some nice paintings which make a lovely display.

I had to sneak in another sunset.  This is looking towards the football oval and basketball court.

Leaving beautiful Balgo

WET SEASON FUN In the second last week of school the Wet season decided to come calling. It bucketed down both in Balgo and the Tanami Rd. The locals love the rain as it fills the waterholes and brings out the animals. On our way out to check out the waterfall and waterhole we came across Shane and 15 odd children returning from the waterhole. It is lucky there is no glass in the windows otherwise there would be nowhere for the kids to sit!! There was a chorus of frogs down at the waterhole and this little fellow didn't mind a cuddle This is the waterhole which is fed by a waterfall when it rains.  Unfortunately the creek had stopped running when we got there so the waterfall was only a trickle. Such a lovely place to go in the desert. CHURCH IN BALGO FOR THE LAST TIME A little out of focus but you can hopefully see the gum leaves being dripped into the coolamon that I am holding.  This is the water blessing that happens at the beginning of each church service.  It is nic...

Around town

As you drive into town, the  Warlayirti art gallery is advertised on a car bonnet.  The art work is spectacular at the art centre. Local artists come each day to the centre. Many of the artworks are sold around the world. Soooo many art pieces that would look great in our house!!! Some of the artists at work  This is the art centre. The outside certainly doesn’t give away the beauty it contains.  The football ground..... yes, that’s red dirt!!! This is the shop. We are lucky as the shop has a good range of groceries. So many tins of baked beans ... happy 😃  This is the school. It is called Luurnpa. The name comes from a Dreamtime story about Luurnpa the Giant Kingfisher.  Some lovely sunsets
