The big boys got busy this morning on updating their blogs and we also did a bit more of a schoolwork, washing/catchup morning. Stu had woken up a bit crook last night so not a great sleep, mummy requiring a strong coffee to get moving. We left around 11 and headed out to the the Argyle Homestead museum which is the Durack homestead of the book I’m reading atm. I hadn’t realised it had been relocated/salvaged before the original homestead was flooded with th...

Today a bit of a rest day with a late start and some whip cracking by mummy to get some schoolwork done. We headed to the info Centre in Kununurra where kids saw some buddies from Alice. We thought the pink diamond Centre in town might have a bit of a spiel about the mine but was just a shop, was fun to look at the pink diamonds anyways. I knew they were expensive but didn’t realise just how much they are or how rare either. The lady once she realised there was...

This was a pretty easy 4km return walk, also already quite crowded as a Sunday and striking distance from Kununurra for day tripp...

After we’d all signed indemnity forms the girls gave us helmets and a horse and on we got! I was expecting a bit of a nothing first half hour while they went through how to hold reins and the basics of horse safety, but we got about a 5min brief on how to pull the horse up and turn it and we were o...

Woke up to another beautiful morning on the Gibb- we’re usually awake 5:30 or 6 with the light, which is good as trying to stay on NSW time. Zebedee Springs first up on the menu today, on our way in we had an impromptu maths lesson calculating how old the beautiful Liviston Palms are- (you count the rings and divide by 4). We chanced our arrival just as a tour group of oldies left and most of the keen beans that get everywhere early, so were quite pleased with ...
