We arrived into Katherine and headed to the visitor centre to suss out there and Mataranka. The lady ruled out Katherine gorge for us with the kids and it's getting to hot now for walks. We decided to have lunch at the golf club and then head off to Mataranka for the night. We ended up staying at the caravan park closest to Bitter Springs. After set up and a few drinks easy snags in bread it was for tea :) The kids are starting to sleep in for longer in the morni...

Today we hit the road from Alice. We stopped and only did one of the gorges - Ormiston gorge. We chose this one as Kylie's maiden name is Ormiston. Beautiful place got lots of great photos, kids had fun climbing rocks and running around on the sand, they even spotted a dingo. We fuelled up at Glen Helen and they told us about a turn off a km up the road for some good shade for lunch. It was a nice pergola lookout overlooking the Finke river. Then it was off on...

Well it has been a busy couple of days in Alice. Guys have been busy working on the campers repairing a few things here and there and getting them prepared for the next journey.

Poor Ben got terribly upset at how many flies were hanging around him whilst he was eating his wrap. Calmed him down and told him they are going to be like that for ages. I also think he was worried about his food, by geez he can eat. He ended up sitting in the car to eat his lunch. I'm afraid that Zane is...

This morning was great. After breakfast Kylie and I took the kids for a walk through the main drag of Winton whilst the boys packed up the campers. All of the bins in the Main Street where inside big dinosaur feet which the kids thought were very cool. We had photos with Banjo Paterson's statue in front of the lyrics to Waltzing Matilda as this is where he wrote the song. We got on the road an hour earlier than the day before so we're improving. Have been doing...
