The Decorative Folk Artist September 2017 | Page 5

Down-under … Member Mal Sharpe reports on his holiday Hi - we are in Northern Australia and on a two month walkabout (in a posh RV). We’re meeting lots of different people - we came across Manni showing Aboriginal folk art, he also showed us fire making, and his spear throwing - very nice chap. We did a spot of fishing, listened to a bit of didgeridoo, and met some locals. And I got a ‘new best friend’. On the way over we had to stop for a spot of shopping in Hong Kong. I hope to see you all at the next convention. Mal and Debbie
