April 2008
So welcome the end of yet another month. It seems that once Easter is over, the year flies by, and this year I am sure will be no exception. We have now been in Wadeye for 10 weeks and it is going really well. We are not sure exactly what we do, but we seem to be on the go all the time, with what seems to be very little down time. We are still without the car but that will change in the next few days as the dry season is well and truly upon us, with the Daly River now able to be crossed (around 0.5 metre). We are catching a lift into Darwin with one of the Clinic staff on the first weekend in May to collect the mighty Patrol. We will drive out on the Friday and have Saturday to do some serious shopping (Bunnings, KMart, coffee shops, markets!!) before heading back on Sunday with the camper trailer in tow. The trip back should take about 5-6 hours depending on the state of the road. I recently had to drive from Wadeye to Peppimenarti for work, which is about 1/2 way to Daly ...
