Geoff was very busy today undertaking what he calls "asset management". This involved cleaning the car - meticulously - even as far as removing the wheels to get rid of all signs of red dust. I don't see the sense it it myself as it is about to get covered in red dust again tomorrow! The kids and I spent a lazy day around the pool at the caravan park and doing a little bit of school work. In the afternoon we had a look around Kununurra, fed some catfish and watch...

We spent Thurs and Friday night at the Brett's farm, Waterloo Station. It was nice to stay somewhere 2 nights in a row as we have had a different camping spot each night since we left Darwin. The kids were introduced to life on a cattle station. They saw poddy calves being fed, plenty of cattle, tractor rides, quad bike rides and even a galah that Colin shot! The Brett's have a couple of road trains to transport their cattle so the kids got to pretend they were d...

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.

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. We walked up to the top of Gunlom falls today which is 1km straight up. The kids are being very good walkers and haven't really done any complaining - even Benjie who was still insisting on a stroller around shopping centres before we left. At the top of Gunlom falls we found lovely freshwater rock pools that look like infin...
