Apologies for the temporary blog outage–the media coverage was intense and the attention it brought too personal for my taste. Hopefully we can stay up and running now.
We’ve packed everything up, provisionally. Most everyone from our team has left now. I took a few days away up in muggy Darwin. It was a pleasant diversion to see some colors other than red! Some pictures below.
-
- Why I love the window seat.
-
- The Deckchair Cinema, where I saw a nice movie.
-
- In the WWII oil storage tunnels.
-
- The NT Parliament building.
-
- Rather more tropical than Alice Springs…
-
- On Mindil Beach.
-
- Unbelievable, but I was the only one there.
-
- Entering Kakadu.
-
- Towards the Arnhem Plateau.
-
- Aboriginal rock art at Nourlangie.
-
- Termite mounds.
-
- It’s the season for setting bush fires to renew the land.

- Back in Darwin.
Dispatches from the Field 
I’m so glad you’re back! I was worried that the awful stupidity of the media coverage would scare you into shutting this down for good, and we’d loose out on all the cool pictures and science.
