Musical Dispatch from the Front - Pocket Dial - January 2026

[Frank Baarda]

Hi folks,

You've received a picture which is part of Wendy's Annual Report for the Bilingual Resources Development Unit (BRDU - the printery) at Yuendumu School.

An email equivalent of a pocket dial.

Today I watched an interview ith author Randa Abdel-Fattah by Jan Fran (ETTE Media- "Used to be Journos"). Nice to listen to a couple of erudite intelligent ladies putting the whole Adelaide Writers Week schmozzle into nuanced context.

We're back in Yuendumu. All Quiet on the Western Front.

This is as good a place to be in in this troubled world. We are glad to be home.

Sorry for the mystery photo. Context is something I aspire to. The photo wasn't.

Cheers,
