Mungo

Hello all,

I'm back from Mungo and had a rather interesting time of it. Highlights include holding a piece of egg shell from a Genyornis (extinct giant flightless bird that died out 50,000 years ago) in 46 degree heat and getting pissed as a newt while singing bad karaoke. Finished off with a creepy man (after first trying to serenade us with Jimmy Barnes) lurking at our door for 45 minutes listening to our conversation and a walk at the Walls of China (a rather spectacular lunar landscape) parts of which were formed over 100,000 years ago. And who can forget listening to a goat trapper trying to round up sheep in his sleep while lying under the stars in a landscape that looked startingly like one out of Wolf Creek.

So to all I say beware of the bad ghost shephard who beats up sheep, gives bad haircuts while you sleep and has a penchant for bananas (I'd tell you why but I don't want to be the first one to sully this blog).

Big props to Alice! Not everyone would be willing to share the fact that they were abused by a banana-wielding shepherd on their first blog post!

Yeah, but this is Alice here. She's gotta boast about SOMETHING, don't she...

Alice, he wasn't rounding up sheep, he was rounding goats.

Jesus, get it right will you...pftt..
