Bush mechanics
Today we set out to see some waterfalls and have a swim in Litchfield. After driving down a 4wd track, a river crossing with potentially crocs and lunch with loud cicadas, we still had not seen any falls or swum. We decided to head back to a “tourist waterfall” as Craig called it. Coming back … Continue reading
Our last day in the north…
Well today is our last day in the North before we turn south and begin our journey home. Was a slow start with at least three of the parents making the most of nowhere to be by enjoying a sleep in. Won’t say who, but I was up before 7am as always (why can’t I … Continue reading
Jumping crocs and the Darwin aircraft museum
I want waffle too much today as Craig has done a fine journalistic job! The jumping crocs were cool. It is amazing how far they can propel themselves out of the water. As we cruised up the river i could not help feeling stalked as you could see the crocs coming out and making a … Continue reading

No trip to the Territory would be complete unless you see the jumping crocodiles on the Adelaide River. So I guess you can now say our Territory trip is complete!! The day started with a trip down a corrugated dirt road, an alternative route recommended by the caravan park owner as a little more interesting … Continue reading

Emma was so bubbly and excited on the way in but not rude over the top as can happen. Picking ear rings was fun, but some trepidation appeared Then … Continue reading
Happy 7th Birthday Emma
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you! Em was up before 7am looking for presents. She told us the other day she saw presents in a cupboard after she went looking for them (this oddly sounds like genetic behavior passed down from Auntie Kim…………) But this morning they were gone! Surprise! Soon Tara and … Continue reading
