Nera flies out tomorrow on a job with Aspen Medical. This is the company that she works with on the Covid vaccination roll-out but this particular job is a bot different. She will fly to Darwin and then on to the Gove Peninsula on the east cost of Arnhem Land. The settlement where she will be based is on an island off the coast, and she'll be there for three weeks. Very exciting!
When I was at Gib Gate, we had a sister-school at Yirrkala which is nearby to where Nera is going. It had been arranged by Jimmy Barnes, whose kids were at the school and who was a great friend of the members of Yothu Yindi who were very big at the time. I was never able to pin down a date for our visit and finally gave up.
It would have been a great adventure and I would have a lot more to write about in this blog if t had come off.
