How long can it take to see Australia?: Spits & Snacks

I've now been in Wyndham for 4 weeks working on a movie, and we've just completed our first week of filming. Damn my confidentiality clause, because there is SO much I'd love to share! Let's just say this is not a Hollywood production where there are Tantrums & Tiaras. Instead, if only for my own memory bank, this week will be known as 'Spits & Snacks'.

So what I CAN tell you......Friday night we all sat in the mess tent after dinner to watch the rushes from the first week, and it's a real thrill to see the hard work and the vision start to come alive on screen. 5 weeks to go!

I've had a chance on the weekend to have a bit of a look around the Wyndham area, so here's some pictures I'd like share.

The first shipment of cattle since the live export ban to Indonesia was lifted, heads out this week.

The Boab tree grows on sandy plains, creek beds and stony ridges throughout the Kimberley. All grow in very unique shapes, big & round, with the wood soft & spongy. At the caravan park, we're camped alongside the largest boab in 'captivity'. Over 2000 years old.

It's captured.

And old. And spongy.

After a very eventful week that lives in the cone of silence, a night at the Barra Shack was required, and the best way to get there is of course, in the back of a divvy van.
