Enjoyed our lazy day yesterday, and very pleased the car engine has been given a clean bill of health.  Now we just need the windscreen to hold out and all will be good. 🙂

We went off into town around 9.30am and were supposed to be
doing a self guided historical tour.   Continue reading →

14 August 2011 Litchfield to Darwin

We left Litchfield at about 8:30am and had only about an hour to Darwin, the earliest we could check-in at the Caravan Park was 12 noon, so we had a bit of time to fill in.

On the way out to the highway we noticed that Batchelor  had a Saturday market, so we took the turn off and found the market.   As luck would have it, there was also a (your favourite spot and mine) dump point right near the market.   Continue reading →

Friday 12 August 2011 Adelaide to Litchfield National Park   3000km flight 95km drive

We arrived at the airport at about 7am for our 8:40am flight
to Darwin to recommence our Holiday after an unexpected return to Adelaide.

Breakfast in the Qantas Club, a relaxing read of the morning
papers and then boarded our flight around 8:20.   The flight was uneventful and we arrived in Darwin around  midday.  We were soon at the storage yard and collected the car and van (all undamaged, much to the delight of Deb) and set out for Batchelor and then Litchfield Tourist park on the fringe of the National Park.

We woke this morning to find ourselves parked in a setting Arthur Streeton would have been proud to have painted. The bush setting we had parked in was amazing to wake to.  All we were missing was a few kangaroos by our front door. Continue reading →

Friday 29 July  Karratha to Karijini, About 550km

We got away at about 7:30, this seems to our travel day start time. After a quick stop at the “Dump Point” (Oh, what an exhilarating
way to start the day) we were on the road again. It looked like we had just missed peak hour in Karratha, Continue reading →

We had an easy start to the day, did a load of washing and were out of here around 10ish.  

We drove over to Dampier, checked out the William Dampier lookout, was a pretty view. Continue reading →

We spent time outside looking at the stars last night, they
are beautiful in the outback, the sky was alight with them. Continue reading →
