NEW PUP!!!

She just followed me home, there was nothing I could do about it! She is one of the town camp dogs who hang out in the plaza looking for something to eat. I have been studying these camp dogs and their life since we arrived. I know who this pup's grandmother is and her mother. Can't say who the father is because I saw both being bred by a couple of different males. There is no doubt there is a fair bit of dingo in her, she has the look, except for the white pinto effect! And she certainly has the cunning and the smarts. She learns so quickly it is almost scary. When you look into those eyes, you can just see the wheels turning not to mention the devil thinking about what mischief to get into next. When she first came home Red and Bird figured she was just here for a visit or a haircut and didn't pay much attention to her, now they are all chasing and wrestling and having a wonderful time. As always, the youngster in the house gives the old dogs a new lease on life. Here are some pics.


She likes to surround herself with toys and as fast as I put them back in her basket, she gets them out again!


Here she is giving Ian a kiss, she is a loving little critter.

Her colors blend in with the landscape.



She likes to get into it with the Red Dog.

Memorial Day - Anzac Day

Both are the day set aside to honor those who have given their all in the service of their country. Here are some pictures of the Jabiru Anzac (Australia New Zealand Army Corps) Dawn Ceremony.


Here is Ian at the podium giving the opening address for the service. Still pretty dark and more stars than you can ever imagine out here with very little light polution.


The soldiers, diggers they are called here, stand guard around the memorial.


Fire and Rescue personnel stand guard as well, we call them "firies."


Ian lays the wreath for the town council.


Kathryn Ralph and Jessie Hunter lay a wreath donated by Kakadu Culture Camp.
