No, I wasn't aware with such an event and apparently, it is only held in Central Australia =D. After much persuasion by my preceptor (none of us wanted to go because we don't wear beanies!) , so we went! The beanies that people designed came from all parts of Australia and they were beautiful, and some were creatively bizzare (hanging bees, huge flower-like top, protruding horns, strawberry with the stem). Quite coincidently, it was almost closing when we got there BUT there was a playreading event after that. So we went for it! Didn't know what playreading was all about but my conclusion it is basically reading out a play without acting out. There were no costumes changing whatsoever. Perhaps that's why is free, so am not complaining! Oh, I must say that although there were only two actresses in the whole play, the story line was simple yet touching. It talks about relationship, struggles, secrets between Anangu and Western women. Head full of love is the title of the play and it is simply amazing how they weave beanies into a lovely story.
Mike, my preceptor's husband is a super talented photographer. Recently been to his newly opened gallery and his pictures were stunningly magnificent. To me, pictures are even more beautiful and meaningful when they have a story behind it. And yes, there were stories in his pictures and they link together as you walk along the gallery (he placed snakes on the floor and asked us to follow them). I thought it was a cool idea!
Freezing cold in here. And all of us think that it will be HOT in here during winter. It is unfortunately colder than Adelaide...the night can dip to -3 degrees celcius. I remember going to work one day and my hands were numb and painful even with gloves on. Oh, and I was cycling. Gosh. I wish I had a car! >.<
