On Valentine's Day, there was a beaut Ceilidh in Canberra put on by the Canberra City Pipes and Drums. I played fiddle and pipes and even did some dancing! It was great fun!

Gosh, you both look beautiful - I'll bet the snobs in the crowd didn't realise you were really bogans living in a Prado! hahaha!

PAX 2014. So much painting, game playing, badge swapping fun to be had!

[thechristophermcleod]

Pax = "peace" in Latin but methinks there is some degree of generation gap for me in understanding this from your beaut photos! haha! Pax vobiscum! (Peace with you!)

A mix of Hermannsburg, Palm Valley and Rainbow Valley - near Alice Springs, NT

[thechristophermcleod]

I missed this one - that's interesting about Arrernte counting - 1,2,3,lots! Very sensible! They survived for a very longtime with that concept! And I love the "shadow shot"! You both look like giants - a bit like some of the people in Russell Drysdale's paintings!

I remember seeing a documentary about Toots the Truckie! She was incredible! A bit like you two! hahaha!
