We are now leaving Eighty Mile beach, it's just after 7.30 am and the temperature is expected to reach 38 degrees today. We spent a great 3 weeks in Broome, enjoying the company of friends and all that the area had to offer. It's a very relaxed place. While we were there, we caught the tail end of the Pearl festival and watched the closing ceremony from the grass area above Cable Beach. Without sounding too b****y, I have to say we were not impressed! Half the ...

As we left Kununurra heading towards Broome we only spent 2 nights free camping as the temperature was rising to nearly 40 degrees and we were looking for aircon and a swimming pool by then, anything to cool the body temperatures down! We did find one great free camp though, high on a ridge top overlooking a valley so we got a good breeze there, albeit a hot one. We met a young mum and her 4 year old daughter who are travelling on their own in a car and caravan....

We are now on the road out of Kununurra, heading towards Broome. If you look at the map you can see we are just in Western Australia and leaving behind The Northern Territory. We had a great time at Berry Springs, out of Darwin and made some great mates, thanks for the memories guys!!!

We made our trip back to Sydney and sold everything in the house and organised the completion of the sale which happens on Friday. As of Friday 30th of August we will be "Homeless and Unemployed" and boy, Is it a good feeling! We managed to get rid of everything in the short time we were back and lots of bargains were had by all. I have been the receiver of great "garage sale" bargains in the ...

Well we have made it to Darwin, sort of. We are now into our 5th week at a beautiful spot about 60ks out of Darwin called Tumbling Waters, Berry Springs. It's a lovely, friendly park, very reasonably priced and a good spot to base ourselves at. The happy hour is at least 12 plus every evening, even allowing for people coming and going, sometimes double that. There is a croc enclosure, licensed cafe, small sunday market and a free outdoor cinema on sight. We have...
