Lawn hill adels grove

Today we woke up, had a slow morning and went for a drive to Lawn Hill. We are doing a boat ride down the gorge tomorrow morning. The boys went for a walk to the gorge, but as I had done it a few years back, I waited back at the water.  We came back to camp at lunch time and the boys went for a swim after lunch and Sue-Ellen and I went for a nanna.  We woke up about 3 and then we went for a swim in extremely invigorating water. Was cold but worth it.  I had cooked a beef stew in the thermos cooker so tea didn't have to be cooked. We ate that and the boys and Sue-Ellen are going up to the cafe to watch State of Origin.  Up early tomorrow to pack up and go for boat ride then come back and grab our vans and head to Leichhardt Falls for a bush camp tomorrow night.  -- Regards Elisha

Day in Darwin

The boys (Yoges, Brad and Karl) went out on a fishing charter today while the rest of the crew (less Elisha) went shopping, had lunch in town and spent the afternoon down at the Waterfront relaxing on the green grass in the shade and swimming in the lagoon. Zac and Tom had fun in the wave pool. Karl, Donna, George and the Taylor clan went out for dinner at a Seafood and Steakhouse all you can eat smorgasbord which was absolutely beautiful down on the water.

We had a full day of rest, the boys did a spot of fishing, which was not successful and us girls caught up on necessary hand washing. We had a beautiful camp oven tea followed by Yogis famous syrup dumplings (only no golden syrup so improvised and used maple syrup). Plus Dianne made Date scones in her Thermocooker - yum! very spoilt... When we left our ute wouldn't go over 75-80kms an hour. So we crawled to Deons Lookout and some stockmen and Karl and Tony popped the bonnet. I think they worked out that whenwe ran out of fuel a few days back, it must of sucked some crap up into filter. Between the 4 men, they drained a bit of fuel and we were good as gold again. Deons Lookout is amazing. We were so lucky to be there after rains d the view so green. Wikicamps helped us find a spot on the Ward River 30kms west of Charleville. We set up for the last time, ...
