Hello friends. Well, it’s official. We have less than one month before we depart the island. It’s kinda hard to wrap our heads around, to be honest.
The visit from the Friends of Maatsuyker was a raging success and Harry outdid himself with the spread for the hard workers. Other than that it’s been a fairly uneventful time here so not much to report.
But! We do have some exciting news to share. (Drum roll please…) Harry and I are excited to announce that while our time on Maatsuyker Island might be coming to end, our journey isn’t over. We’ve decided to keep going on this adventure and our application has been accepted for our next posting!
Yup! That’s right. The No Going Back boys will be continuing on this crazy ride and will be heading straight to our next exciting gig, this time just on the outskirts of the 8.2 million-acre Arctic National Park at a place called Cold Foot Camp. Apparently, the camp was so named because explorers got that far, decided it wasn’t a great idea to keep going, and turned back around, getting a case of ‘cold feet’. The camp provides food and lodging to travellers along the Dalton Highway about 60 miles north of the Arctic Circle and 240 miles south of the Arctic Ocean. So yeah, it’s quite literally in the middle nowhere.
It’ll be pretty different to what we’ve had here at Maatsuyker, for one, we won’t be on our own, but we’re really looking forward to it.
Lots of love from the arse end of the Earth!
No Going Back
