Thierings on Tour

Chris and the girls were off early to head on a fishing charter with their besties. As they set off there was an amazing crescent moon with Venus (?) in full view – whatever star or planet it was, it looked magical.

Scarly and I managed to balance chores and playground as well as work and iPad time. She is growing up so fast and is getting so confident! Her favourite new thing is going up to people she meets and asking them “what’s your name?”, which always leads to interesting discussions. It’s lovely to see her be so confident and articulate! 

The great fishermen and women returned with their haul and the adults got to work filleting the catch. I’m excited to have some yummy fish in our food stash. Whilst it wasn’t the greatest charter in terms of quantity of fish caught, it was still a fun day out for everyone and the girls got a great taste for fishing.

We said our goodbyes yet again and set off. On our way out and travelling through Normanton we also grabbed the token Big Barra and Big Croc photos. I think these are some of the better “Big” landmarks around.

Our lunch stop was at a lovely Indigenous cafe that had delicious food & iced coffee, but also so much beautiful artwork around. I particularly loved these painted turtle shells!

Then it was a bit of a drive to our final destination of Leichhardt Falls for the night, but we got there safely, found a nice free camp and enjoyed the view as the sun set over the falls.

There were some friendly Grey Nomads around and Chris and I enjoyed some laughs by the campfire with them after the kids had gone to bed.

The night sky was magnificent and with not much light around the stars were beautiful, with many a shooting star. It’s so mesmerising watching the stars when they are so good!
