Its on the western side of Cape York in Qld, an Aboriginal community of roughly 600 people. I've been down the battle cruiser tonight to meet the locals, and their beautiful people. So I've dedicated this thread to the Elders and the locals of this community as their hospitality and friendship is second to none. I've learned a lot about their culture and traditions over the last few weeks, and its an experiance I'll cherish forever.

I'll try and post photo's .

I havent many photo's of the town yet, its its right on the Gulf of Carpenteria. I'll post them up soon.

My misses is a school teacher, and while we were down on the Gold Coast we thought something was missing. After our previous experiance in Bamaga, we'd kind of caught the "Cape York bug" and decided to head back up here for a few years. "Go out Bush" and all that, its great helping thes little Aboriginal kids, its so rewarding and even more so when the locals take to you. I've got a job up at the school as a teachers aid, it beats unblocking p.oo for a living.  :D
