Today we got back from Mungo National Park where we saw kids doing aboriginal dances and went exploring in the sand dunes. We had a barbecue with some of the elders and some other students who are studying archaeology at LaTrobe University.
Below is a picture from Mungo
Tonight we will have a belated July 4th celebration. The owners of the hostel we are staying in are going to give us a barbecue, and from there we are going to a gallery opening that one of our professors is involved with, and probably going out to do some karaoke after that.
This is another picture from out day at Mungo of two of the kids talking after they performed their dance.
After tonight we have Friday to do some more downloading and editing of pictures from our first trip. Saturday morning we leave for our trip to the outback and will not be coming back until next Friday. We will be going to a variety of places when we are gone, and I will try to put some photos up on the blog when I return.
I have not been able to get my hands on any stamps because the grocery stores don't sell them and there are not a lot of places in walking distance. So if you don't receive a post card from me, I apologise!


Thanks for the blog post about Mungo, and you can send us a post card from the airport when you leave. No problems mate!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adventure! I read quite a bit about the history and significance of Mungo - quite a spiritual and meaningful place.
ReplyDeleteYeah it was a very cool place to be.
ReplyDeleteThe picture of Mungo that you posted makes me think of the volcanic topography (mostly covered in green, though) in Hawaii. Was this area volcanic? Thanks for posting! Fun for us to "travel along" with you!
DeleteDon't tell me that picture is dunes?!!
DeleteAs long as one post card ends up on the Maine Thread world map, all will be happy. And, happy we will be when you return home safe from this incredible adventure. Love reading your blog! <3
