Our host in Humpty Doo, the man with the Donga, Peter
Brady, looking right at home in the city. |
Brady's tub & shower. Water comes straight from a
tank, and is COLD. Been a long time since I'd had a shower
like that! Quite exhilarating. |
Here's Grunter, Ben Brady's lovable yet orally fixated
dog, pictured with the yellow ball she loves. It almost
never leaves her mouth. And if it does, and you remind her
about it, she freaks out! |
So Grunter lost track of the ball for a day or so, and
couldn't handle it. She fortunately found a substitute for a
while. Yes, that's a trimming from a didgeridoo. See, those
of you who know Peter Brady on the net... he doesn't make
all this weird stuff up. It's all real! |
More residents of Camp Brady, Didgi and her 6 pups. |

Now that's a big lizard! Probably a monitor lizard,
methinks. Hiding in the tree is Peter's son Ben. |
Wangi Falls, southwest of Humpty Doo. The little blip in
the water is Randy. |

Gallery, probably the finest gallery in Darwin, and also

A tree. Really! Okay, kind of a special tree, a
Woollybutt, that is common for didgeridoos in the Darwin
area. The bark only goes part way up the tree, and is a
defense against fire. It kind of smoulders but doesn't burn
through, so that when bushfire sweeps through, it only gets
the woolly bark at the bottom of the tree, and doesn't burn
through and kill the tree. Pretty smart! |
