A twenty minute ramble with Willie from Balgo in remote WA - the Tanami desert. The first of the Remote Community musings.

William mumbles and murmurs about wellbeing, misconceptions, January 26th and the implications of not observing history and whether there are any benefits to periods of isolation. A chance to reflect, regroup and rehash a busy start to the year and a good chance to do some thinking.

A couple of numbers for First Nations folk who found Jan 26th difficult - 13 YARN (13 92 76), Brother to Brother 1800 435 799 and Lifelife below.
