Really it was fun. We wondered how children didn't get lost in the dark, watching the music and wandering here and there. It was fun to be part of it. We chatted to other white people, including a lady from Traralgon who works in the women's centre. She's been here on & off for 5 years. I'd talked to her on the phone, via a circuitous route (thanks Dean!) and she was very welcoming.

A nurse visiting for the weekend came across a lady who'd been beaten up and was frightened. Tim got peripherally involved. She knew he is the new doctor - people must talk! Fortunately she wasn't too badly hurt. The police (plain clothes) took her to the Safe House. That's what happens.

We'd heard of a mum who had "absconded" from Darwin with her child, for treatment of the child's club foot. But she came back to Wadeye for the festival. Some on the team were annoyed/frustrated. But the festival is once a year! Sounds like she wants to go back next week. Fair enough.
