We recently had another holiday - a trip to NZ to visit the whanau and then to Melbourne to see friends and more family .. it was nice ! it was great actually - we loved seeing everyone and loved being at the 'bach' ... everyones got some new kids or the ones they had last time are all bigger and greater ... it was really frantic trying to see everyone and we missed out on some, sorry ... anyhow - heres some choice shots ..

Then Kade took Sailor and Iggy back to school and I stayed on and escorted the gorgeous Nongirrnga and her daughter Marrnyula for a week in Melbourne.  Marrnyula's grandson Charles come down with them  - his first time in a big city - and together with his felted rainbow coloured cowboy hat we attended his great-grandmothers opening at Alcaston Gallery. went to the zoo and did a workshop at the VCA printmaking studios with the unstoppable Adrian Kellett.
