Donkeys

We have 3 wild donkeys here in Ampilatwatja. They are a royal nuisance, getting into garbage, pooping on your doorstep, and waking you up with their asthmatic wheezing. They're pretty smart too... they frequently come into my yard, turn on my garden tap and stick their heads under it for a drink. This has flooded my front yard, causing grass to grow, which the donkeys like to then come and eat. One thing leads to another and thank you gifts are left behind.

Here I am chasing one out of the schoolyard.


Around Ampilatwatja

My humble abode. I believe the architectural style is 'portable vernacular'.

Just outside of Ampilatwatja... Honeymoon bore. A romantic spot indeed.

The sign... don't miss the turn.
