Wadeye is a dry community. But it isn't! The white people can get a grog license, and some of them drink well over safe limits. And Aboriginal people smuggle it in. The police try to control it, but they also have to sleep.
Many people report that they drink most days - refreshingly honest about it, but it's concerning nevertheless.
We wonder if abstinence is the best goal. It's failing miserably! What about controlled supply: no more than 4 drinks a day, no takeaways, in a place where we could all socialise?
Out walking late yesterday: the White Subaru is still there
I walked with Tracy - she's dwarfed by this termite mound
An orchid growing on a cycad - very special find
