What people say about us...

My dear Joy.

As the red dust is almost removed from my socks, shoes, hair and eyes I'm settling back to life in Melbourne.

The last week of 'transition' has not be easy; I find my mind wandering to places far north and my heart keener on reading more about Arnhem Land than getting on with my 'real' job.

What an amazing trip Joy. When I left Melbourne I thought the trip would be good. But I had no idea just how good! It was a simply stunning journey - in every way the experience of a lifetime.

Thank you so very much for your wonderful professionalism; extraordinary organisation; brilliant thoroughness and thoughtfulness; and for being such a pleasure to spend time with. The trip would not have been what it was without you. I think your mother was very clever calling you Joy!

Please do let me know if ever you are in Melbourne with a little time - I can promise the welcome will be warm and the vino cold.

With my best.

Marie

Dear Viv and Joy,

A huge thank you to you both for arranging such an amazing trip for all of us. Baz and I are still on a high!! We really appreciated all of your hard work and planning - it was such fun and our 'gang' were wonderful to travel with. Will be in touch again soon, but now got the washing machine at full throttle getting ready to leave for Europe on Wednesday afternoon.

Hope these few shots bring back good memories. Can't wait to see you either at Telstra, Emily show in Canberra or next year for another trip. Thank you again - we learnt such a lot, are tickled pink with our purchases and so enjoyed seeing the art centres. This was one of THE BEST and most fun trips we have ever had.

with love,

Jude and Baz
