Dear friends,

Greetings from wet, stormy Darwin where we are all set for the beginning of our appeal tomorrow (Wednesday).

We have a public meeting in Darwin tonight where we hope to enjoy mutually encouraging discourse with local supporters.

We have had good local media coverage up here, particularly in the NT News newspaper (quite an achievement considering we did not catch a crocodile!) and on the ABC. I did an interview on the local ABC Radio breakfast show this morning, in which the presenter allowed me to broach a number of subjects including my time in prison, non-violent action, my spirituality, Pine Gap and our court case.

Other newspapers/organisa tions have run stories on their websites, a selection below:

Feel free add your comments….

Adele was released on Monday; she is fine and keen to share about her experience and the conditions in Berrima prison soon.

We will see Bryan and Jim in court tomorrow; they will attend in custody and sit in the dock.



We’re all in good spirits and excited about the next leg of the journey.

Thanks for traveling with us, and for all your wonderful support.

Donna and Pine Gap colleagues
