Wednesday 2nd July 2008
Another lazy day today, Ray was a bit off. We went for a bit of a drive around the town, had a look in the Argyle Diamond Shop. A pair of drop earrings with a Cognac coloured diamond as big as your little finger nail was priced at $1,847,000... it did have a couple of small diamonds at the top of it though and it was set on gold... My favourite one was (again) $87,000 a lovely little number of a darkish pink. Oh well, dream on Faye!!!

Today will be washing and packing up the wagon, getting ready to head out tomorrow. We haven’t been out to Kelly’s Knob yet or the Hoochery (the rum distillery), so we’ll probable to that today.

Had to say hoo-roo to lovely friends this morning when we left Hidden Valley Caravan Park. We have had a lovely stay in Kununurra, lots to do and had some time with Leonie and Leon from Macksville. Met another nice couple there as well; they are from Tassie and are travelling for a few months. They might call in on us when they come across to the east coast. We camped about 100ks from Katherine on a road side stop along with other caravans, about 8 all up.

Arrived in Katherine about 9:30am and had a bit of a look about, before we headed out to Hayes Creek to camp a couple of nights.

We went for a drive out to Douglas Hot Springs this morning. What a wonderful little Oasis that is... There is a National Park Camp grounds and easy access to the river and the warm water that is flowing from the hot springs up river.

We headed for the Litchfield National Park for a few days there before we make our way up to Darwin. We’ll stay here until Thursday to have a look at some falls and gorges etc.

Well, we have had two great days wondering around this great National Park. Boy, there are some wonderful spots here, well worth the couple of days... I have some great pics to add but will do that when I have more Internet time, I have used well over my 10 hrs this month already. The first falls we had a look at on the way in to find a camping spot, were the Florence Falls, then yesterday we had a big day and did some climbing to have a swim at the Tjaynera Falls (Sandy Creek Falls). No croc signs around, so we felt safe (???). We also checked out the “Blyth Homestead” ruins, where the Sergeant family lived for some time while their father along with the oldest children mined for ‘tin’. We had some creek crossings to do on the way in and out of these places, fairly deep and rough. Then we went to the Wangi Falls, which we had another swim there as well. Apparently they remove the crocs from there with traps...hmmmm!!!! But there were lots of other people there before us so we thought it safe enough. We had afternoon tea at the Monsoon Cafe, a lovely little place in the middle of the scrub and bush with all this wonderful homemade cooking, and great coffee. Today we went to the Buley Rockhole just below the Florence Falls, and they were just wonderful... had a great wallow in the pools and under the small falls. Well, we are just all tuckered out tonight so will say good night for now... will post this as soon as I get to Darwin and some service...

As some of you already know we arrived in Darwin about 2:30pm today, setup our camp in the Lee Point Caravan Park. Nice shady park, we have been to a live concert already... LOL, they have a concert every week here in the park. They weren’t too bad, good entertainment for a few hours. Different anyway... well off to bed now, gotta get some sleep for a big day tomorrow of exploring Darwin and all its sights...
