Bran Nu Dae

Kids down the front. Occasionally you would see a little hand shadow peep up to pick someone on the screens nose.

More kids

Some cool dudes.

The community hall - which is really a tin shed has movies and events on - there is guy who runs after school programs with the kids - discos etc. We went along to see Bran Nu Dae which was being put on by the health centre as we watched a video about heart disease. There is a lot of problems with health in communities.

I wasn't overly keen to watch Bran Nu Dae but this setting made it wonderful. Everyone was piled in. Dogs and all (me and the dogs have an understanding now and we are on good terms and some of the old ladies dogs will even let me pat them!) everyone in. It was so fun watching it with all the locals. The kids were great and loved all the slapstick. Comedies are always funnier when you are laughing with other people. Most of the older people there were either from the mission days or went to boarding school so found all the references in it hilarious with Geoffrey Rush playing a german priest . (For those who haven't seen it: In the Summer of 1965 a young man is filled with the life of the idyllic old pearling port Broome - fishing, hanging out with his mates and his girl. However his mother returns him to the religious mission for further schooling. After being punished for an act of youthful rebellion, he runs away from the mission on a journey that ultimately leads him back home. IMBD).
