Our time in Alice is up and Marty can't be any happier!! Last month l thought it was bad, this month hasn't been much better. Marty and l are bickering a lot, although he has tapered off whining about Alice a little. The weather hasn't let up, summer has hit and s*** it's hot. I can't actually wait to get down south muskeg to be honest. Besides the weather being exhausting, work has been getting me down too. It has really been hard this time round and l think it...

The last month hasn't been as good as l was hoping. Marty and l have been blueing a lot to the point where it has really impacted on our time here. I have been working heaps and l do feel for Marty as it has been really hot here. The temp has been over 35oC for the last month, having a week of high 30's and even into the mid 40's. He is sweltering out in the heat and in the elements with no relief. At least l get to go to work and have a little reprieve in the ai...

Yay it's my b'day!!! Bloody 35 already, where has my life gone. Feels like the last ten years have flown by, especially the last 16 months.

On my last b'day we were in Atherton Tablelands in QLD with our dearest friends from Cape York, Angie and Rod. Oh how the time flies.... Well the last three days haven't been so good. Marty has been really annoyed with me sinc...

Well the last two days have been a bit testing, 1100kms and the girls are over being cooped up in the car. We did have to resort to technology for most part just to keep them amused, but there could be worst things they could be doing. After we left Katherine, we drove down to the "the peebles" just north of Tennant Creek. It was a big 700km and Marty did so well seeing he was still a bit flat from the febrile illness his had for the last few days. The aborigin...

Well today is our last day in Alice Springs until we come back down again in a few months. Tomorrow we start our journey to Darwin. Our last three months in Alice have been awesome. I've fallen in love with the people and countryside. The town itself isn't what we remember when we passed thru ten years ago. It was so crowded with tourists that you would be shoulder to shoulder with people in the Todd Mall, today it's so empty. It's real sad really as Alice has s...
