Weird ceremonies that keep locals from coming around, nowhere to go for recreation, and the prospect of the regular flights that will stop coming out to Numbulwar in the near future has made life out here tasting a bit bitter for a while... But, Maria's sister Madde has been here for a month now, we are looking after a little foal which keeps us busy during the day, and we are leaving for Cairns for a 2 week holiday end of next week!!
