Hi, Anny. I'm in The Kimberley, a wild northern area of Australia,
which boasts the second oldest landforms in the world. I'm teaching
indigenous children in a remote community called Ngallagunda in Gibb
River Station. The Gibb River Road is a famous tourist attraction
within Australia, and is nicknamed Corrugation Road. In the season
called The Wet, the creeks (dry in summer) rise thirty feet - could
happen in December or maybe January. An interesting part of the world!
Thanks for asking ...
I'll put more photos up on my blog in the next couple of days. We are
out of here 8 December, so I'd better enjoy its unique qualities while
I'm here.
