If you're ever looking for a change in direction, a new career with a challenge and on the job skills to gather, Alice Springs is the place to be. I reckon I've been offered about 6 or 7 jobs now, and finally one that has a 'feels right' factor despite only being short term until the end of January. I start in just over a week here in town for a week setting myself up for 4 weeks out bush in a community on the edge of the Pitjantjara lands about 45okm's south of Alice. I'll be waking up under a big red rock every morning for 4 weeks and the pub is a bit closer than 530km's away........I've been given the task of mentoring 5 anangu child care staff (don't laugh) and coordinating their school holiday programs for the kids. After xmas in Melbourne I'm back there for 3 weeks before the funding runs out. Then who knows?? I have a pretty good idea what might happen after that but just waiting waiting waiting. We're good at that over here in the Territory. Lots of waiting.......
