Visited an art gallery with an exhibition of kaleidoscopes.
They were incredibly intricate in design. The makers were there and gave us a run down on the various types.
17/6 Had to move sites this morning, then spent the day wandering around Darwin city. Visited the
Library, where they had an interesting exhibition on a guy named Edward Reichenbach
(Ryko) a 21 yo, who 100 years ago rode a bike from Adelaide to Darwin. Took him 28 days, which was a new record. He was a
photographer and recorded his trip.
Stopped in at Parliament House and briefly sat
in on a Legislative council session regarding speed limits-riveting stuff. Back to camp for a well earned dip in the pool. Went into a number of galleries. There is an enormous amount of aboriginal art on sale, some fantastic, some not so great. Can't imagine more than a small proportion sells.
