I can't say I remember my parents aeroplaning food into my mouth, though I have seen
the state of many a child who has suffered at the hand of this failed process. Today, however,
the concept was redefined; I can categorically state that eating on a Qantas
Boeing 717 while bouncing through turbulence renders the same result
—
the only
difference being I was throwing food at my own face rather than my parents
having the honour. Needless to say a bib would have been handy.
A pin and two dots on a map.
Connect the dots in order and you will see the path I travelled to reach my final destination. And where exactly is that? The Top End of the Northern Territory in Arnhem Land, to be precise, home to Yolngu people.
It was no small task in getting here, either. Ten hours of airport hopping and meandering, thankfully, and happily, sprinkled with my favourite twitter gals whose gallant efforts definitely reduced the impact of the six-hour layover in Cairns and thus, successfully diverted my attention from just how sore my backside really was.

Sitting down all day really is torture.
Glad you made it with backside intact, food shower notwithstanding! And hurrah for your first blog post :) Looking forward to many more.
