This morning brought lots more adventures and good times for everyone. At camp, we were able to buy some delicious Johnny cakes – something between a scone and a savoury doughnut. They went down a treat with an assortment of condiments and everyone went back for seconds.
All the girls made the most of playing in the hay bail playground and making the most of farm life. It really is such a fun place to stay!
Then Des the owner unleashed the reptiles and the kids got to hold all sorts of creatures – from lizards to turtles to snakes. It was great to see them all step up and be so brave! The big snake got all the kids united… what an amazing experience for them all.
Shortly after it was time for another round of goodbyes and I know this one was harder as we likely won’t see Chloe, Ben and the girls anymore on our trip and with the Sophie, Oscar and the girls it’s only one definitive catch up before a long stint of not seeing each other…
We made it to Katherine and had to do a huge shop after eating everything in the van. $450 later we had stocked up on all the essentials for the next little while, meanwhile Chris had given the car & van a good wash so we could continue on our way.
We did briefly stop for lunch on the outskirts before driving a bit further out of town. Unfortunately Edith Falls campground was booked out, so we decided to head as far as Adelaide River and stay at Mt Bundy station for the night.
It was great to be tucked away by the river with only 2 vans around us. We headed out for a walk to explore and saw so many wallaroos. The water at the river looked so murky and croc-infested that Chris decided not to fish there.
On their way to the toilet with Chris, the big girls encountered a cane toad which jumped up on Chris’ leg – yuk! Lucky it wasn’t me, otherwise the screaming could have been heard in Darwin.
