There`s a book called the Australian Mining family its about myself growing up in Gove my dad Tom Baker did the blasting ` Explosives ` up there in the Mine. Dad use to come home with old war two bottles etc. If you going back up have a look at the history up there back in the war days you find it very interesting ? Back in the 80`s we used to go swimming in the creeks knowing there was croc`s but wouldn't do it now. If you have a e-mail address I write to you send places were we used to go as kids fishing etc camping etc the do`s and don't`s plus I get old pictures of Gove for you so that you can see the difference ? As kids we used to go walkabout in the bush but always found our way home...

It's Nhulun--boy... not Nhulun--buy. Awesome footage, awesome video.. Just correcting you on the name there. Edit: I'm talking about the pronunciation too, not the spelling.
No worries, mate! Must've been a right drongo and left me fair dinkum on the pub counter at the Walkabout. She'll be right, though, livin' the dream's got me chuffed. Alright, hooroo cobba!
