We decided to stay another day here as the place is great, and the kids as well as us were having a relaxing time with our neighbours, the Dahlenberg family from Alice Springs. During the morning, Eamon & Wade, and Renee & Cassidy rode around the park on their bikes, and pottered around, Then Renee & Mum decided to tackle the short walk just near the caravan park - it was only 45 mins, but in 38 degree heat that's plenty. Dad cleaned the inside of t...

We spent the morning sitting around chatting to our neighbours from Alice Springs. They have children Renee & Eamon's age and as the kids have been starved of playmates to date, they have been loving every minute with bike riding, footy, tree climbing, swimming, etc. During the day we took a drive to the dam wall and a couple of lookouts and also visited the Durack Homestead which was 'transplanted' from its original location which was in the middle of ...

After a warm night in the van, our air con guy from a few days ago came back at 7am to check out the situation.

We had a nice morning tea, got some more supplies,...

We left from our grassy spot in Timber Creek late morning and headed back on the Victoria Highway to Kununurra. Soon after we departed, we saw the turnoff to Gregory's Tree, which is a famous boab tree carved by the explorer Augustus Gregory over 150 years ago. The 3.5 km road in was unsealed so it was a bit slow with the van, and the flies were shocking but we had to visit just for the name of it! We stopped at the NT/WA Border Quarantine Station. We had l...
