We got back in the trusty troopy today. This time we headed to the second largest community on the islands - Milikapiti. We packed up the cooking recipes and ingredients and headed to the local primary school where we conducted four mini master chef sessions. The children were patient, excited, interested and cute. No eyes were taken out with sharp knives and most of the final product seemed to taste good!
Prior to this we had lunch at an amazing beach scene. It was a case of look but don't touch with box jelly fish and crocs part of the danger.
We headed back to Tiwi College via an almighty rain shower which made the roads and inside the troopy quite slippery!
Georgie (the teacher - has a son Jonas who is enthralled by the Tiwi wildlife. The girls got to do some snake handling. I am sure that was in the risk assessment!
Following this is was a game of basket ball with the Tiwi girls and some bouncing on the trampoline.
We ended the night with a shared meal, some Tiwi dancing in which the girls danced their dreaming with us and finally a .... possum hunt. The St Ursula's Girls almost fully participated - but drew the line at eating the fire roasted mammals.
It was truly a privilege to share the evening with the local community of Tiwi College.
