Back at the Bridge

Caught up with Jen and kids at the airport and as we were in Adelaide decided to head to the Fringe Festival currently on show. It's sort of carny meets circus/music/theatre/street entertainer comedy fest all meshed into one with amusement rides, food stalls, and small theatres for puppet, theatrical shows, jazz/ opera etc. The kids were obviously more interested in the carny amusement rides and some circus training - the rest seemed a bit overpriced and desperate really. Would have been nice to check out some of the evening comedy et al but the kids wouldn't have survived or likely been allowed in for that matter. Prior to collecting me at the airport the kids had a visit of Port Adelaide, visited an old ship where families had come across from the motherland and did a bit of sight seeing. Jen was understandably a little waxed from the past few days without someone to hand the kids to - resistent journal writers and confined caravan spaces can wear on you after a little while! I've organized just over a week left of work in Murray Bridge and then we'll head out to explore a few more spots in South Australia before trekking into the middle. Not sure if it will go ahead as yet as for some reason the Northern Territory has me conditionally registered as a GP and this presents a problem if the locum agency has me working in the emergency department as a registrar. Will hopefully get this sorted in the next day or so and still keep these plans.
