It was time to head back south and that meant saying goodbye yet again to our road besties. Sadly this time we really don’t know when we will cross paths again, but we promised the kids we would try to align the itineraries again… First stop for the day was Florence Falls and as it…

It was great to have the time for a slow start this morning and everyone was in a good mood, excited to explore waterfalls and waterholes! The first stop for the day was Wangi Falls, a gorgeous setting with two huge waterfalls cascading either side of the gorge plunge pool. One thing that did freak us out…

After a rough night with Scarly it felt extra hard getting up to start packing and moving again. Chris was really concerned by the squeak that Toyota hasn’t fixed during their service and so wanted to get some other opinions. We hade a detour via a suspension retailer where a very helpful young man spent…

Today was going to be a busy day – we had both the car and van booked in for a service, which meant packing up early and heading out to drop them off. We were then dropped to Darwin to explore the city by day on foot. The foreshore area was our first stop and…

The sunrise was quite spectacular this morning, my little morning walk buddy Jazzy was ready as always to go and explore. I love all the giant fig trees around here, they are so impressive! This morning I had quite a few back to back meetings, so we packed up as much as we could before…

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…

Worry not everyone, the tooth fairy found Jazzy’s tooth and she had left a collection of 5 x $1 coins in the bowl. Lucky girl! As a practical mama I noted that I would now have someone to lean on if I needed to borrow $1 coins for the washing machine in the future (to…

The smoke and fire from the night before were nowhere to be seen or smelt this morning, which was great. We tried our hardest to leave early and were aiming for 7am, but ultimately set off at 8am this morning. We really should be better at packing up and hitting the road by now, but every…

The girls are all officially sniffing now, these cold nights and warm days have got the better of everyone… poor Jazzy had a terrible sleep because she could barely breathe through her nose 😢 We grabbed some breakfast and our runners and set off for a day trip to Limmen National Park. Whilst the road…
-
We woke up with a beautiful view of the cliffs and Robinson river below. It was very cold in the morning and it seems that all the girls are well and truly sniffly now… Chris set off for a morning fish down at the river this morning while the girls and I enjoyed a slow morning at…
-
The roosters and other farm animals were up early this morning and made themselves heard. It proved to be a great distraction for the girls while Chris and I packed up. It was also great to see a little playground at the caravan park, the girls loved being right next to it so they could…
-
We took our time getting ready today knowing we didn’t have too far to go. The girls were playing together from early morning and making the most of it. Then it was time for goodbyes yet again as we work out when our paths will cross again… I had called around all the road houses…
-
The mornings have been so cold recently, you can really feel the winter chills during the night and early mornings. Unfortunately it also means that all the kids have got the sniffles and started coughing 😢Especially Scarly, the poor thing can barely breathe at night… We had a leisurely morning at camp, enjoying not having…
-
It was chilly this morning as Jazzy and I woke up early and headed for a walk across the top of the waterfalls. We watched the sun rise and it was beautiful! The terrain was giving off a very musky and unpleasant smell and the only thing I can compare it to is the sulphuric pools in…
-
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…
