-first Rotary District Conference (district 9550)

-first hot air balloon ride 

-first discussion with aboriginal-focused social enterprise

-first history lesson of the contribution of Chinese immigrants to Darwin

-first time hearing aborigine creation story

-first time visiting a coffee museum and tasting 8 types of coffee

-first time eating an Aussie meat pie

-first time sharing a golf course with kangaroos - I got the pictures to prove it

-first time meeting a "Nordic Princess"

-first time tasting Bundaberg Rum

-first time teaching the "Chicken Dance" to people from Timor Leste

-first time participating in comedic skit - I was making farting noises; gotta start somewhere

(Hot air ballooning over the Tablelands around Mareeba)

(No, this was not at Outback Steakhouse - the pie came from a cafe in Karunda)

The 'Roos share the golf course with us all day.
