But I have.
I finished my time at the top end in July and this blog has been sitting idle. Time to fix that.
One of the really awesome things I did in my final weeks was to kayak up the Katherine Gorge. We camped overnight under the stars and it felt like we were the only people in the world.
After I finished up working my partner came up and we made our pilgrimage to the red centre. The trip was a once in a life time experience that really made me realise that the world is larger and more spectacular than I though. I also realised time moves fast.
The three months in the Territory moved really fast and the time since hasn't slowed either. I'm 30 now and am relived that the wrinkles and arthritis haven't developed overnight.
The question is what did I learn during my time at the to?
I realised I love where I live in the South (even though it's cold and rainy as I write, although it is spring).
I learnt that I don't want to spend any more time away from my partner.
I was inspired by some wonderful people to seek out the possibilities.
I was shocked that some of the things I thought came naturally to me were really hard to master.
I was surprised and awestruck by the beauty of the Territory.
I discovered I love running.
I understand I still have a whole lot more to learn.
I think I will become a spokesperson for walk abouts. They are well worth undertaking.
