I'm back after a quick trip to Port Hedland to attend the (another) funeral of a co worker. I wont harp on about the state of indigenous health in this country, as I'm too tired, you've heard it all before and mostly because this weekend I just want to have good happy memories of my old mate.
The funeral was held in Marble Bar, so we flew up to Pt Hedland and then drove the few hundred kilometres there. Last time we had a funeral out that way we got to camp out in a very cool gorge, not this time though. We had to drive back to Hedland that night and fly home today at midday. A fast trip but a good one and a great turn out of 3 to 400 people at the funeral.
Breakfast on the plane (hello QANTAS) was fairly ordinary, we took bets on whether it would be a soggy sausage or soggy bacon. Bacon was the winner on the day.

Lunch on the way back was a lot better and even edible
It's good to be back home
