Shinju festival







We are all in training for the Shinju Matsuri festival - the festival of the pearl in Broome. I am helping the Chinese Dragon to perform and the kids are playing the drums and other musical instruments that he dancesto. Despite diligently practicing for several weeks, poor old Sammy the Dragon has been tied in plenty of knotsbut hopefully it will all be ok on the day.

Tracey and I are also paddling in the Dragon boat races. She is in the Broome Primary school boat and I'm in the Hospital boat. It's a very prestigious event which is won by the surf club every year but I'm sure the bragging rights for who finishes in front will be worth it.
