The whole of Goodooga was woken up at 7am on Saturday morning by 17 screaming girls struggling to sing My Island Home. I will never forget the moment we departed from Mindy’s house, Robert following us on his quad-bike down the main street, tears rolling down my face. I didn’t want to leave; I had created such close relationships with the all the kids, the families, and the whole community. I had fallen in love. A town with a population of 200 people really captured my heart; they were so welcoming, so friendly and warm. This week will be one to remember, the people we met, the places we went, and the things we learnt will never be forgotten.
