Rambling With Lucy
(Lucy R. Woods)
Looking over some letters from Miss Margaret Durham,
Darwin, Australia, to various members of her family in Can
ada, Lucy picked out the following interesting excerpts:
“I met’ a. Canadian couple from Wawa, Ontario, who
decided to see the world before having a family. They have
been travelling around Australia in a Volkswagen Van. They
were camped down at Howard Springs, a lovely swimming
spot', and John and I spent last Sunday afternoon with them,
They had a small Canadian flag—4t was the first time I’d
seen it.’’
Did you go to vote on the 17 November, 1965, on election
day? I heard the Liberals got in with a minority government
but that was all that was mentioned. Will there be another
election? We 'hardly ever see a newspaper here. The south-
• em papers’ are two shillings and a day old, and the Darwin
paper is not much more informative than the Clinton News-
Record so far as world news is concerned.
There is no television here of course though they expect
to have it in two or three years.
The ‘wet’ has (not really started yet, though we had a
downpour Saturday evening, in fact it came right in on the
floor and just about flooded us out, so I hope we don’t have
much of that.
11 December, 1965
Have you had much cold weather yet ? Wish I could send
you some of this heat. It is just like walking around in a
steam bath most of the time. This past week, after finishing
at Police Headquarters I have been back at Administration
buildings which are air conditioned, but too cold for me.
And it is most disagreeable to step out into 90 degree heat
after shivering for hours indoors.
The ‘wet’ season was due to start a month ago but is
very late this year and we’ve only had occasional down
pour I believe it gets cooler when the rain sets in.
I got some good photos of frilled lizards when I was
at Police Headquarters. There are quite a few gum trees
about the yard and usually two or three lizards half way up
. a tree. They just stay there motionless for hours. The big
ones are about three foot long to the tip of their tails and
they look so funny when they cross the road. They run on
their hind legs and can go very fast indeed. The Aboriginals
eat them.
The daughter of one of the women who worked there
has a part native friend and she has eaten goanna, kangaroo,
etc., and says it’s very good. I think I’ll stick to beef even
though it is a bit tough here.
The food here is not too bad on the whole. Fresh fruit
and vegetables are expensive as they are imported from the
south. I miss milk most of all. The bottled milk is a mixture
of reconditioned milk from Adelaide, dried milk and occas
ionally, local milk of which there is a short supply. It is
quite expensive and we have been using powdered milk as
it tastes about the same.
Chicken is very expensive here as it has been everywhere
in Australia and New Zealand, but I was able to buy it
wholesale from the Police Boys Club so we have had-it sev
eral ’times lately.
Have been out to dinner at most of the places worth go
ing to, but the meals are not especially appealing.
The Darwin Hotel (The Hotel) puts on a smorgasbord
on Sunday nights which is very nice. It is really nice to go
dancing, though, as the dance floor is out doors and the tables
< are set out amongst the palm trees. The evenings are so
balmy and warm.
January 16, 1966
The wedding we went to on December 21 was quite love
ly. It was in the United Church which is a beautiful modern
building (The United Church in the N.T. is modelled after the
one in Canada.)
Muriel had a long white gown and her two attendants
wore long-gold sheaths. - The men wore4 “Darwin formal’’—
that is long trousers, long sleeved white shirts and ties. It
was a hot sticky evening and I think they would have look
ed more comfortable in shorts.
The reception was at Fannie Bay Hotel, which is right
on the sea and they served a four course meal. There were
only about 20 guests and I suppose none of them knew Muriel
and Bill any better than we did.
They had hoped to go to Timor on their honeymoon but
didn’t have passports, so I think they just went down the
Track as far as Katherine, which isn’t a very romantic place
for a honeymoon.
Tony was back from the bush for the holiday and on
Monday, January 3, we drove down the Track about 45 miles
and stopped to look at the Mantou Dam, Darwin’s water sup
ply. The water was flowing over the dam which it hasn’t
done for two or three years apparently.
The roads are flooded a great deal now and the cars
have to use the railway bridges in some places. The bush is
just beautiful now, so green and lush, and changes within a
few miles from dense rain forest to grassy plains. Saw some
brilliant red and green parrots, lizards, and I finally shot
wallaby. It must have been a better gun than Mr. de Luz’s
because it only took one bulet.
I felt rather badly, though, and don’t think I’ll shoot any
more. Tony has gone back to the bush until May. I
When I got back to work on January 4, I was sent to the
Agricultural Branch and am wondering why I complained
about air conditioning. It sure is hot here but then it hasn’t
rained much since we got back.
I’m sure Perth is a lovely place to live as everyone
speaks well of it,, but wages are not high there and employ
ment is more difficult? Besides one cannot go down the Centre
and across the Nullabar Plain very well in the summer
How is the weather at home now? Have you had much
snow this winter? We didn’t have a traditional Christmas
dinner at all at Timor, as Christmas’ Eve seems to be the
important time. The main course that evening was steak and
eggs—typical Australian food.
