The Nylon Zoo in Port Hedland
I've just spent the weekend in the mining town of Port Hedland in Western Australia with my turtle Nylon Zoo. The event was a market held 4 times each year and my wonderful colourful turtle entertained oodles of kiddies and parents. Being such a hot place - it was 35 celsius on Saturday, the event started late afternoon and went into the night. Everything in the town opens at 4am and shuts down late at night. All up I flew approximately 7,000 kms to and from home..
Modelling my fish hats
Dear talented musician friends Sally and Jesse, who perform together as Nice Verdes were gracious enough to model my new fish hats. These will all be a part of a big, new show coming in 2019. Stay tunes!
