We leave Hervey Bay tomorrow morning at 5:30 (by plane), headed for Darwin, then Kakadu and Alice Springs. We will not be coming back to Hervey Bay where Barbara's mother lives. There is a barbeque this evening. The natives refer to it as a "barbie." I have realized that Barbara has lost some of her accent. Sometimes I have trouble understanding the natives--some more than others. Barbara has arranged several tours for us during the next few days, so I will probably have more to tell you after each tour.

More later
