the mission that was getting to groote eylandt


so i found a bunch of photos i forgot to put up earlier from the day we first flew into groote eylandt.

raynee below waiting outside vincent avaition at around 5:30am after one of the most hectic and busy days of my life thus far.
in a nutshell, friday the 30th april 2012 raynee and myself somehow did all this:

- worked my last days work delivering the blinds.
- filmed a day in the life with kris, stopped at two skateparks, drunk a beer or two
- got home to finish packing all our house up.
- found out we’d been stooged by the removalists.
- continued to pack the last of our stuff, ordered another storage unit.
- took another load to the tip to rid ourselves of the last of our junk.
- we then both packed all our house into my van in around 4-5 trips to the storage unit.
- finished that and drove to my parents house in parkdale to drop my beloved ki-ki off (my cat, she ended up moving to phillip island with my uncle)
- drove back to alices house in elsternwick, chilled for about an hour.
- got in a cab to the airport for a 12:45am flight to darwin.
- arrived darwin to find our tickets had been booked at the wrong time, missed connecting flight.
- bought new tickets from the tight ass vincent aviation.
and then finally at around i think 6:30 or 7am we boarded a twin engine, propellor driven plane to groote.
it was a long, drawn out massive nauseation of a day.
but we made it…these are the pics of the flight to our final destination, very tired souls!
