Two night stop at Daly Waters. Some kind of historical site with all weird bits and pieces everywhere and one of those old town pubs. Swimming pool was a hit. It even rained for the first time since who knows when. Bit of lightning too. Hopefully cools off a bit […]
20231003 Mataranka Thermal Pools
Few other guys moving on today. Tire pressure guy and Matt and Alisha. Kids played with those guys most of the moving. Went to the thermal pools expecting for it to really stinky with bats everywhere, but it was fine quite nice actually. Then went to the museum and library […]
20231002 Bitter Springs
Auto correct almost had me calling this post booty springs. Essentially this is just outside Mataranka. Seems cooler here. Water taste terrible, and this is after drinking Creek water from the previous place. Mira and Seb spent most of the arvo playing with Siena and Co. Ran into tire pressure […]
20231001 Katherine Gorge
Well, kind of. We didn’t really get what was going on. So we got there went to the visitor center and you really need to book a tour to get there. It’s too hot to do the roughly 5kms in this heat. I’m sure it would have been nice but […]
20230929 Katherine Buffalo Hill
Heading out from Kakadu today. Kylie’s family also went back to Brisbane. Bit of a drive back out toward Katherine. Nice little farm stay. Dusty but have us did for fire and had a chat with old mate Chris. Turns out his brother was in the photo from Victoria River […]
20230928 Kakadu day 3
Headed back to Cahils crossing. Wasn’t quite the show I was expecting, maybe the tide wasn’t high enough, but the Crocs came in numbers waiting for fish I guess. Few cars doing joy rides through the crossing. Got tried fishing, think a croc got his lure and he ended up […]
20230927 Kakadu day 2
Early start to go to a creek system and billabong for a sunrise cruise. Was pretty relaxing, lots of Crocs and birds and fauna. Dennis with two M’s was a bit of a larakin. Favorite saying, “that will kill ya”. Then headed to a swimming hole waterfall – Maguk Falls. […]
20230926 Kakadu day 1
After a bit of false start due to a guy car not being returned because it was smashed, we made it to Kakadu. Long drive but easy kms. Headed out to see some rock art near Cahil’s Crossing where the Crocs are just waiting for high tide. But tide was […]
20230925 Darwin T2D6
Not much today. We’re gonna go back into town to get another skateboard to replace the one they already had, but Seb mostly woke up on the wrong side of the bed. So we didn’t do much, some school work and hung around the camp ground. Kids did some work […]
20230924 Darwin T2D5
Bit of washing, then the family went to at 6 galleries while I took the kids and Poppy Steve to the water park slide and GYG. Kids are getting into a bit of skateboarding now. Lots of windows being wound.
