Seems like an eternity since I have posted here.
Thought I should let Ice In Spacers know that Astronomy is still alive and well in our corner of the NT.
Next weekend is the GARMA festival of Aboriginal Culture.
For the 4th year running I will be conducting presentations and night sky tours for 100's of the visiting festival Attendees.

This year I will be partnering up with 3 rivers foundation Australia.

3 hardy souls from 3RF (Lachlan, Tony & Anne) are driving all the way from Sydney to join me in presenting at the festival.
This year promises to be great for Garma with the Festival director Rhoda Roberts taking the festival to a new level.

Looking forward to this festival under a new moon (by coincidence)
I will update on the event when its all wrapped up for another year.

Hi Ian,

The festival made the TV news here. How is it going up there?
I last heard from Lach when they were in Cairns. I trust they made it?

Best Regards

Gary
