It was freezing last night, we think around 8 degrees. Although we quickly forgot about that when we saw the beautiful sunrise from our camper window. We set off and took in the vista at the Old Victoria River crossing and then went a little further into the national park and did a 1.7km walk under the escarpment. Moving along the Victoria Highway we stopped for lunch at Timber Creek and Geoff got chatting to two other travellers. The first were a family with alm...

Yep, Po's tooth is out. So with Po's gappy smile and Geoffs teeth we are fitting right in with the locals!! Our dream run with the car and camper has come to an end. Currently we are sitting in a workshop in Katherine whilst the car is getting the once over. Yesterday we noticed a sound coming from behind the wheel and it turns out it is the handbrake cable that had dropped down and was rubbing against the tyre. Not a big job but best we get it fixed before we h...

We are all sleeping very well. The thing that wakes us in the morning some time between 730 and 8 am is the birds, they can be quite noisy.

At the top of Gunlom falls we found lovely freshwater rock pools that look like infin...

We got our first real taste of corrugations on the 4wd track to the camping ground. Geoff was excited as he got to use his air compressor. The camping area is beautiful it over looks the falls and is near the waterhole at the base of the falls. After a swim we had an ea...

After a slow morning, well actually all our mornings are slow, we headed back to Cooinda as we had booked on a tour called Animal Tracks which started at 1pm. It turns out this was a great decision as it is the best thing we have done so far. We went in a small 4wd to experience a hands on aboriginal bush tucker experience. An aboriginal lady named Patsy joined us and showed us how the aboriginal people forage for food-not just in times gone past but some still l...
