Arnhem Land 3.

First we went to the Yirrkala Art Centre, which was the best Aboriginal Art we have ever seen on our travels. Next we went to Goanna Lagoon & Latham River, unfortunately because they didn't get a proper wet season this year, there wasn't a lot of water in them, not enough to swim.
Whilst on our travels we saw an Aboriginal couple looking at a tree and decided to chop it down, We think it was for the art centre, well the bloke stood there, whilst the women got a long handle axe and chopped it down!!! It was funny!!!
Also the road sign's up here, if you come from the town centre, you can read the sign's, however if you come from the other direction, you can not read the sign's as they are all one sided!!
Friday we spend another day at the pool training. We went to the Gove SLSC after this and we both rowed, and it has been a couple of years since either of us have rowed. We both did well and relaxed afterwards at the BBQ which is a huge money earner for this club and a stunning setting!! We had a great night and this is a very friendly club!!
Saturday - we have purchased our first new tyre since being on the road, we have been doing a lot of 4 Wheel driving.
We were going  to patrol at the Surf Club tomorrow, how ever the beach is close due to "Sorry Business" (A local Aboriginal Doctor has died, who was Australian of the year a few years back, a very important fella).
Monday is a holiday here, oh yes that's correct, everyday is a holiday for us!!!

                                           Front wheel getting some air!!

This sign is for Andy our good friend, who sacked most of the people that worked here, when he was last in Nhulunbuy!!!!!
