Old days at Haasts Bluff

Had another night at the community centre where they showed slides from the early mission days. All our old lady painters were there, as were the kids, the families and of course the dogs. One of the dogs weed on the screen to the cries of Wjyia! Wjyia! Which means in Luritja -no - but also means sort of stop that etc. It's the only word that I have mastered. Must try harder.

The slide show was great some of the buildings show in the slides were still standing. Some of the ladies could see themselves as kids or young ladies in them which was great. We got told stories in both english and in Luritja - they also cooked kangeroo tails on the BBQ. It was pretty special.
