Down near the jetty in Derby there is a centenary pavilion which was
installed in 2001. From the outside it looks pretty ordinary and not worth
taking a photo of yet the floor inside the pavilion is an amazing mosaic.
The mosaic was a community effort involving 370 children and adults who
spent 700 hours laying the 30,000 tiles.
The floor is in the colours of the Aboriginal flag - I didn't take a lot of
photos but from these two you will be able to pick out the station worker,
the snake, fish, mud crab, turtle and other things.
Gill and Peter like to travel. In 2011/12 they completed a trip around Australia. One of the things that they are aware of is the fact that to live your dream then you actually have to do something and that's what they did. In 2013 they decided to further explore outback Australia and crossed the Simpson Desert. Going forward they will continue to travel as they plan for the next few years. To see some of their other trips follow the links.
