September 2009 WA Geraldton area - wind and wildflowers

This area is famous for its wildflowers. This year has been a good one and the wild flowers have been stunning - masses of every lasting daises, shrubs and a wide variety of small flowers and orchids.

Mt Isa NW Queensland June 2009

This is my final month of working at Mt Isa School of the Air. The photos show me at work, teaching reading via the phone, horse jumps at the Mt Isa show and wild flowers. The stunning sun rise was the view from my bed at Julia Creek. Pub photo is also at Julia Creek which is a small town (pop 300) about 3 hours drive east of Mt Isa.

May 2009 Mt Isa NW Queensland

I am staying in Mt Isa for 10 weeks while I work at the School of the Air - children who live in remote areas and do their school work at home. The teachers monitor their returned work and take a lesson with the 8 children together each day via the phone network. Children also receive individual reading lessons by phone, twice a week. Teachers do home visits to the children in their class and I have been to see two of the children in my class in the time I've been here. The scenery around Mt Isa is ruggedly beautiful, red rocks and white gums.
