Our duffle bag has been safely shipped to Cairns where it is currently being housed by David J Delaney. Can you believe that David has swung myself and Gretchen 5 star accommodation in Cairns because the hotel staff are friendly to and famliar with all this poets? ‘Tis true!
Here, in Darwin, I am preparing to venture into the heat and explore the Wharf for tomorrow. My legs are limping having swum a few too many laps in a freshwater pool and then followed that by a hike through Litchfield Park where the ominous colony of magnetic termite mounds hold fort.
It is hard to stay still, mentally or bodily; Thursday Island and the Trinity Bay are calling me and now that we have Tyler, as our cameraman, Gretchen from the ABC, Graeme our poet and all the sharks prepared – I am thinking that we are going to create a shipping tale to rival Robinson Crusoe.
