New assignment

After nearly 5 months in civilization (mainly New York City), I'm finally heading back to the bush.  My plan for 2012 has changed so many times I can't keep track, but finally I have a destination.

Within a couple of weeks I will be heading to the Kimberley region of Western Australia to work at an aboriginal wilderness camp.  I will be living with the native custodian at the family's camp on the Fitzroy River and teaching their two children through the School of the Air.

I think hunting and gathering might be an interesting "alternative lifestyle".  As long as I have regular access to a shop to resupply my chocolate addiction, I should be just fine.
