Arrived in Darwin three weeks ago. Staying in the driveway of David Schroeder's house (adopted son). Brad started painting the house. he has been painitng every day. I cook, clean and read books and sit in the pool when it all gets too hot. Its 30 degrees every day and 40% humidity. We are just not used to it and poor Brad is suffering working in this heat every day.

He tries to work in the shade and moves about the house tomaximise thw shade.

Last weekend to get him a rest we went to Dundee Beach which is west of Darwin out on a peninsula. Stunning place. The boys fished. Well stood with a rod in their hand for hours on end.No fish to be had but at least it was a rest. Saw 5 metre crock's sitting in the water ehre they fish. Very

We then went to Litchfield via a short cut that was 4 hrs long for 30km

Now back in Darwin and heading to Bali Tuesday for 2 weeks. Brad is having a well earned rest.
