Annnnd we’re here! The
Teachabout mob arrived in one’s and two’s on Thursday afternoon and in the
early hours on Friday morning.
Our time in Darwin
started off a little rocky; we came across various stumbling blocks on Friday,
with the team needing to pull out all stops to ensure we delivered a successful
program. We finished Friday on a positive note however with Program preparation
in full swing, a group walk/run and some dinner in a Asian Fusion Jazz Bar
(with eclectic art choices) near our accommodation. We are really excited to be
arriving in Minyerri on Monday.
The view during our
run on the beach was pretty spectacular:
Saturday was spent
buying all of the resources needed for the program. This involved trips to Bunnings,
Spotlight, Jaycar, an art store, a music store, Big W, Kathmandu, two-dollar
shops, op shops, sports stores, JB Hifi, pharmacies and Woolworths. Needless to
say we are all pretty over shopping and shopping centres. Here is just a small
portion of our purchases:
Then came the sorting
of purchases into a logical place in numerous boxes and bags, and the never-ending
recording of receipts!
Tonight we are looking
forward to vegan burritos and having a look around Darwin. We leave for
Katherine tomorrow, where we will stay overnight before we drive into Minyerri
on Monday. Stay tuned and thanks to everyone for the support we have received
from back home so far!
