Adventures
Coober Pedy
A long day on the road after a big day at the rock. As always happens, on a big day of driving with 750kms to cover, we couldn’t get the kids out of bed!! Even the Waldron kids who are usually up at the crack of dawn, got up went to the toilet and went … Continue reading
Conquered (by) the Rock!
Woke today to a strong wind blowing from the East and the gusts were cold! We have been so acclimatised to the warm weather that we couldn’t cope with the 17 degrees outside this morning…strange when we started this trip, 17 degrees would have meant shorts and tee shirts!! Today, instead of doing the morning … Continue reading

Another slow pack down in Alice Spings yesterday. Mark had been having more car troubles this time with the cooling system losing fluid on the long hot days. Every morning we were having to fill the system, carefully bleeding the air which was becoming time consuming. There was no obvious sign of a leak, so … Continue reading
Some photos of the past few days….
Ok I get the hint!!! Here are the last few days in visual review.. Kids having fun at devils marbles. Despite the heat they loved climbing and exploring. Then off to Wycliffe which she’s had reported alien sightings… The petrol station has cashed in on this and run with the theme.
Alice? Alice? Who the …. is Alice??
Today was a day of rest. Having spent the last two days on the road, I think everyone was glad to just take it easy today. A late start with everyone sleeping in. In fact, the first one up was Tara, closely followed by me at 8:00am!!!! That would have to be the latest I … Continue reading

Woke to a messy pack up… how did we manage to spread ourselves so much?? Paused the packup just … Continue reading

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
