19 MARCH 2002<br />I've not been idle since the beginning of March. I'm a freelance photographer working for a few other photographers who engage me to do work for them sometimes. Since the last entry I have photographed a couple of weddings, a debutante ball and a scout presentation day.

It was 4.30pm when I put the camera gear back into the car and started my journey to my next town of Mildura. After a drive of one-hundred and ten kilometres, I arrived and booked into another motel.

It's unusual that I don't visit a centre when I arrive in a new town but with the maps I had, the Kindergarten was found with little trouble. I introduced myself to the two ladies who were in charge and through the conversation it was discovered, this was to be an all day session. There were twenty-seven children this morning.
