Bigger city again. Nothing like Perth size though. Hit a mall for some shopping. More local action with cops arresting someone. Nice mall though. Kids got some cheap Crocs and thongs. Finally managed to wash all the sheets. Been a while. Reminds me of the good ol bachelor pad days. […]
20230905 Berry Springs
A short drive from where we are staying, we headed over mid morning. Pretty nice spot to be fair I enjoyed looking under the water at a few different fish species. A few deep pools to chill in although water was pretty nice. Went for a walk around the camp. […]
20230904 Tumbling Waters
Could have called this Berri Springs, but save that for tomorrow. This was essentially a travel day toward Darwin. Think this leaves us about 30 mins to Darwin which we will hit in two days. Wonder if there is a GYG there? Nice little caravan Park. Pretty hot and humid. […]
20230903 Katherine Hot Springs
Father’s Day. Bit of extra love coming my way today. Headed to the nearby hot springs. Didn’t expect much being so close. Was pretty busy but think that was more for the pop up cafe and it being Father’s Day. I actually thought this was better value than Edith Falls, […]
20230902 Edith Falls
Went to Edith Falls. Nice enough. Swam under the waterfall at the upper pool which was a small hike. I hada nanna nap. Hot days catching up with me. Kids went out to the animal feeding after they did some school work. Held snakes and chickens and got licked by […]
20230901 Katherine Farmstay
Nice little stay at Victoria road but about 3 hours of driving to get to Katherine. Went back to the bridge again and kids tried to feed the fish. Didn’t see any Crocs but I’m sure they are there. Saw few different fish swimming around. Got to Katherine and set […]
20230831 Victoria River Roadhouse
Packed up at Keep River. Slow drive back to main road. We noticed as letter on our car from the ranger. Apparently the other ranger did lose his pocket knife. So dropped that off at the visitor center. Quite stunning scenery as we got into Timber Creek shortly after. We […]
20230830 Keep River Day 2
Cooled off overnight which was welcomed. Woke up and went for the small hike with the ranger who gave some interesting info more about what and how the rangers operate around here. Noticed the ranger had a Leatherman pocket knife. I asked if he knew a ranger with the initials […]
20230829 Keep River
Traveling across into the Northern Territory from Lake Argyle. Short drive but some corrugation to get to the camp site. Miss the lake already. Stinking hot and little air flow at this dust bowl. Think it’s impacting the kids ability to behave well. Found a Leatherman pocket knife on the […]
20230828 Lake Argyle day 4
Highlight today was the sunset cruise on a boat. Took us around to a few spots around the lake with some informative commentary. Saw some Crocs, rock wallabies, fish and got a feel for how large this lake is. Considering what was damned, there is a huge amount of water […]
