that munanga linguist

alo alabat! (Kriol for 'hi everyone') well, two weeks ago i still thought blogs were silly, but look at me now... blogging away like a trooper. it's been a few weeks now and i've settled into life at Ngukurr quite nicely. In fact so nicely that the rest of the world seems to have disappeared from immediate memory - that tends to happen here. well, it's still wet season so i don't have access to katherine. well, it's sposed to be wet season, but we've had hardly any rain... we've had enough to turn everything green and make the rivers go up, but not enough to really fill up all the billabongs or give us a good break from the heat. that cyclone that was hanging round the gulf of carpentaria only brought us wind and cloud... no fun. i've been hard at it at work. we're trying to organise language classes here at ngukurr school. we're trying to get funding and organise the teachers, lessons, times... all that stuff. it's really trick...
