Michelle’s Report

The Looma group, led by our Chaplain Richard Pengelley travelled to the remote Aboriginal Community of Looma which is situated roughly three hours east of Broome and close to the Fitzroy River.  Contrary to our expectations, the kids were immediately outgoing, confident and overwhelmingly, had a great sense of humour.  Bound by a mutual willingness to be engaged, wearing a swag of ‘Looma’ shirts (thanks Katie-Jean!) and having sat waiting to be collected at Broome Airport for a few hours ,  we finally arrived at the campsite 20 minutes before sundown.  We were lucky enough to spend our time at an incredibly picturesque campsite on the Fitzroy River.  During the week, the river banks of the Fitzroy became inhabited by (what I considered) a worrying number of Freshwater crocodiles.
