We went to see Maya Thiango in the lead role in South Pacific.

There was one more creative development weekend at Geraghty Park before going to Cooktown to perform at the festival. Varsha and I worked on costumes and picked out some things from the op shop.

We camped at the showgrounds in Cooktown with the new theatre tents. The Cooktown Expo was marking the 250th anniversary of Cooks arrival there. There was a tall ship and a reenactment. The performance was at night on the main stage.

We went to the dance performances from the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities on Cape York and the islands. There was a fabulous mask from Saibai.

We took some photos of Varsha’s costume in the middle of the racecourse the morning before we left.

We stopped at beautiful Archer Point on the way home.

Eco printing workshop.

We got the head off the Morris.
