Ngukurr

Saturday 15th June we set out on our way to Ngukurr. It meant retracing our path to Mataranka and turning Eastward. After about 130km on this road we met the end of the seal and the start of the dirt road. It was very rough and had some sharp stones protruding. After a couple of k or so Brandt pulled over ......oh oh TWO flat tyres, one of which was rather shredded:





Luckily we carry two spares, so after a stop of a couple of hours we were on our way again. Stopped the night in Roper Bar though as we didn't want to drive through unknown river crossings in the dark.

We were at Ngukurr for Brandt to install an air con into the wall of the rectory guest flat, which the visiting clergy stay in. (another BCA job)


First step.....make a hole in the wall


He has often threatened to get out the chainsaw and cut a hole in a wall, so when I heard the chainsaw I just couldn't let this event pass unrecorded.



Just after I took this photo, the smoke detector went off. We take it that I had let smoke get to it when I opened the door to take the photo.


I will let photos tell the rest of the story











Sorry, I didn't take a final photo after the framing was done.

I was visited after school by a few girls, who enjoyed using the iPad. They particularly had fun with the photo booth app:






Also took some "selfies"
