Today we completed the work a Mimili after spending the night in our swags on the back porch of one of the school buildings. We then headed further north-west to Fregon. About 10kms out of Mimili we spotted a herd of camels wandering near the road side but they quickly retreated before we could take a photo. The Aboriginal communities are very basic although most of the locals seem friendly. 
There are surprisingly quite a lot of service personnel such as builders & other visitors to these communities. We met folks from Questacon at Mimili and Fregon who were travelling through the APY lands to teach the young kids. No doubt we’ll catch up with them at some of our next stops. We are now at Ernabella and managed to obtain accommodation at the local TAFE building. Our accommodation tonight is almost 5-star relative to yesterday and we’ll be able to have a shower and freshen up for our long day tomorrow. I decided to give George a break tonight and cooked dinner for the boys as they furiously worked on completed their documentation. I have told them to have it all completed tonight as we probably will not get another internet connection now until mid-next week. George had had enough of stray dogs for awhile I think and tonight he has befriended a 
stray donkey. They donkey startled us shortly after dinner by trying to rummage around in our trailer but he turned out to be fairly friendly. Tonight it’s up late for us and then an early start in the morning and off to Amata to start the work there by lunch time. Not sure whether we’ll be sleeping inside or outside tomorrow night.
