Day 57 Mataranka Homestead "But the people come, the people pay, they pay to watch me every day, as I jump through my hoop of fire....." The circus came to town today..... We had a sleep in this morning... Up by 8am and ready for another hectic day of relaxing in the thermal pools. We first went for a drive into town to the Mataranka Markets - wow there were 4 tables of 'stuff' - on our way over to the other side of town to watch some Barramundi feeding. The...

Day 56 Batchelor - Pine Creek - Mataranka "I've gone a bit country since I met you, baby, I used to be so rock n roll...." Ahhh Mataranka and your thermal pools!

From there it was onto the Museu...

Day 53 Darwin "maybe it's just jealousy, mixed up with a violent mind. A circumstance that dosent make much sense......." What a frustrating day! Landrover Discovery 3 oil filter .... Anyone...

So, despite having the car booked in for over 3 weeks now for a standard oil change and grease service - they couldn't be bothered doing it cause th...
