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 […]

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 […]

20230824 El Questro chill
Just chilling and catching up with some school work today. Kids were gonna swim in the creek near the stall house after they finished their schooling but we changed our mind when a sub 2m snake swam past. It was brown and even though a ranger said it was unlikely […]
20230823 Emma Gorge El Questro
Slept in today. Probably needed it. Feels like we have been rushing around a bit. Clambered into the car after breakfast and headed off to the gorge. Road was definitely better this time around. Saw a family on the side of the road and stopped to see what was going […]
