AT LONG LAST - HARMONY IN THE NORTHERN TERRITORY DESERT


With so much turmoil and barbarity in the world  it is good  to learn that a festival has been  going on  for  nearly two weeks  near the geographic  centre of Australia-Tennant Creek -called  DESERT  HARMONY .  It  has showcased  the Indigenous culture  and diverse  local  art  and  music . Our photograph   at  the  top  shows an  early  stage  in setting up  the  event .  Incidentally, the mining town  boasts  a  24 hour gym  and  two op shops .
Impressive mural in main street of Tennant 
 
Some of  the  artwork  for  sale  at  the  festival  
 
Assorted scrap metal including a car door , bicycle rims  and auto parts made up this creation  entitled CRANK IT UP .  Tucker  available  included  damper and  kangaroo tail .
