We started today doing some testing of students with a basic literacy test. This was good on a couple of fronts. The first is it helped out teachers and students. The second is it gave us an insight into the challenges faced on Tiwi and also some interaction with Tiwi College students.
Speaking of interaction. We spotted this beast on the way to Milikapiti. Darcy as usual was the best shot with the camera.
This little guy (bandicoot) is our constant companion at night. He is a permanent resident at the hospitality section of Tiwi College.
Because we spent time working with students at Tiwi College, it meant that some ladies from Milikapiti did the hard work for us and caught some Crabs, Mangrove worms and Long Bums. Michael Lynch wins the exotic taste prize chowing down on a mangrove worm with Mark and Bernard.
These brumbies were spotted on our way back from the community of Milikapiti. We visited Jilimara Arts center there. There were some very impressive pieces of art, some going for as much as $6000. And that was probably the mid range. Darcy captured this bird created from a Buffalo horn. Jilimara has also decorated cricket bats for Matthew Hayden and a surf board for Layne Beachley.
Mana (which is Tiwi for tomorrow)...
