I ll be boarding a research ship (to do marine geology) in Darwin,
Australia on June 8th. Since the cruise will last 2 months I was hoping
to make some pots* in my few but precious off-hours. Does anyone know
of a pottery supply house where I could purchase some clay (especially
earthenware) in Darwin? Also, can anyone recommend interesting pottery
sites (museums, local potters, etc.) that I should try to see before the
cruise in Darwin (June 5-8) or after the cruise in Sydney (~August 11)?

Thanks in advance,
