Day 4 - Saturday 5th August

HERE WE COME!


 An early wake up before dawn to go and visit the magnificent Anzac Hill. From there we could view the whole of Alice Springs and sat and watched the colourful sunrise as it came over the horizon. After taking in the surroundings and admiring the monument, we made our way back to our hotel to have breakfast and pack our bags ready to check out and make our way to Santa Teresa later on in the day.
 After having some free time and doing some shopping, we enjoyed a delicious lunch at a nice little café. Now with full bellies, we made our way to Woolies to do our humungous shop for the week, let’s just say we definitely aren’t going to go hungry.

 Now that we had everything we needed and after receiving some funny looks for having 5 trolleys of shopping, we finally started our venture to our main destination, Santa Teresa. The trip was enjoyable and made quick with the windows down, singalongs and the vast views to admire along the way.

 Pulling into Santa Teresa, some people were surprised that it wasn’t what they expected. But still incredible none the less. We went straight to our residence and we were visited by Sister Liz in which she welcomed us and gave us a spill on the place and the people. Ben and Steph were the lucky ones to be nominated to go for a drive with Brother Paul in the troopy to go and collect some firewood for our campout tomorrow night.  For the rest of the afternoon we unpacked and then all gave a hand in the kitchen to cook and do dishes, as well as preparing food for tomorrow nights campout. Brother Paul came and visited us again during dinner and talked to us about our campout and what to expect.

Chloe is whipping up a casserole which we are all excited to try tomorrow. Our expectations are high, Ramsey Gordon high, so she better not let us down. 

To finish off the night we had one last game of UNO and headed off to bed. We are looking forward to heading up the hill to the Santa Teresa Cross tomorrow morning.


Today we leave you with this question… was our grocery shop the biggest that any immersion group from CCS has ever done?

Day 3 - Friday 4th August

Mystery bag day The day started around 6 o'clock to get us all prepped and ready for our 8 am visit to Desert Park Wildlife Centre. From there we spent 4 hours experiencing dingoes, an Aboriginal survival show and nocturnal animals. During our visit we watched the most spectacular bird show, watching the swooping Magpie make daring catches and the fastest bird in the world, a Peregrine, showcase its ability to reach speeds of 160km plus. One of the park employees, Matt, enquired as to why we were carrying Pablo the pumpkin around. In true spirit he was more than happy to take a photo with us and Pablo.  After a quick bite to eat, we got back in the cars and headed towards the Araluen Cultural Centre, where we experienced art from local artists, a travelling exhibit from the national gallery in Canberra and traditional aboriginal sculptures. We then made our way over to the aviation exhibit. Then for 20 minutes, everyone except Chloe sat quietly in a suspended aircraft.

WAKEY WAKEY This morning was a 6:30am wake up for the daily sunrise walk. After breakfast, Georgie and Milan headed off to the spirituality centre where they spent time with the ladies learning about them and their community, as well assisting them in making scarves. Much of this time was spent silently observing Georgina, Claire, Gertie and Cheryl as they painted, which was peaceful and artistically inspiring. The women opened up at different rates and all were lovely to talk and listen to. They gave us an insight into the community and their own lives, which we were grateful to learn about. Tahlia and Tim spent the morning in the community centre where they prepared sandwiches, collected dirty washing from the community as well as delivering lunch around. The duo found this quite confronting, going into people’s houses and seeing how different they are to ours, the sights and smells, the lives they live so far outside our own expectations.. Despite this, they enjoyed dri

Kuminjay This morning began with a 7 o’clock wake up to go help JP with breakfast in the canteen at school, which half of us helped out in making wraps, while the other half played outside with the kids. What happened in the next few moments was something none of us never wanted to have to do. It was a heartbreaking moment for all, and a few tears were shed. We said our farewells to our dear brother/son/beloved friend Pablo as he relocated to the school canteen, where he is now destined to become pumpkin soup. JP has vowed to plant Pablo’s seeds in the schools veggie garden so next year’s immersion group can live out the legacy of Pablo through his children. Adopting principles of the Arrernte people, we now know our precious boy as Kuminjay L After saying our farewells, we were fortunately given the opportunity of a smoking ceremony, which Sister Liz was kind enough to lead for us. This was a very personal experience for all,  with each gaining something different from it. It
