Well after a few days in Perth meeting up with former colleagues, and Wendy and a group of old mates from Brunei and Darwin days and giving a talk to the WA Environmental Consultants Association I found myself on the QANTAS flight to Darwin where I was met by my dear friend Chris - who with his partner Shirley have kindly offered to put me up. My house was re-let last week for 6 months so I am still "homeless" in this town. The weather is hot and pretty humid, certainly by the standards of the desert places and Perth I have been in recently.
The view from Chris and Shirley's flat is out over the golf course where C and I used to play every week.
The course looked to be in great condition but we never did get around to playing this trip.
The Darwin skies and sunsets were as dynamic and spectacular as always with the wet season still around.
I made a visit to the old OSS office and saw a few old friends there - we had been hoping to organise a training course in Darwin in October but it seems it will be postponed.
I also caught up with the Baddeleys and had dinner at John Spellman's new restaurant in Darwin - the Tramontana. The place is the ground floor of the new Evolution Tower built on the site of his old restaurant "Missisippi Queen"; a very good evening out with great food superb company and John still the queen of Darwin catering.
Then all too soon it was back tothe airport and off to Sydney.
