It's been an eventful morning
and it's only ten o'clock yet.

Today our sweet James leaves for the bush. He arrived here at the Arts Factory 9 months ago to stay with his older brother Cockatoo paul, who works here as a musician and hosts the Tuesday talent show with me. Cocka's best friend Brown Snake is taking James out into the bush for several months, to build a camp. Later Brown Snake's wife Lisa and two year old son Jungamara will meet them there. 100 km away from anything on arid australian desert land they will build something out of nothing, hunt and cook their own food, and find their own water. He may even find his totem name. This will be a life experience for James- a chance to turn around his life, and a process that separates the boys from the men.
We wish you all the best James.
