Muriella Campground We stopped off at Jabiru for a few supplies, fuel, water and, of course, internet. With fuel, make sure you take a jerry can with you. Towing a van slowly over dirt roads is thirsty work. We were horrified to see the needle drop so quickly. A full tank of fuel in DarwinContinue reading “Kakadu Part 2”

Cracker of a Night
If you happen to be in the Northern Territory on the 1st July, over the age of, say 35, and you WERE’NT born here, you will get to experience a distant childhood memory called Cracker Night. Once a year, for one day only, you can purchase and ignite to your heart’s delight.. A-a-a-h, the euphoricContinue reading “Cracker of a Night”
World Exclusive!!!
Phil and I are proud and delighted to announce the release of our new album ECLECTICON. Unlike having children, we’re even more excited with our second born. Ten tracks of beautifully written and constructed songs, evocative vocals and lush arrangements. Broadly in the category of Indie Rock, the album is truly eclectic with something toContinue reading “World Exclusive!!!”
Wear, Tear & Other Woes Part 1
For a while there, we were a little chuffed, having crossed from one side of the country to the other with only a shredded tyre and rim as penalty for our daring do. However two weeks after we set up at Humpty Doo, I noticed something that smelt like coolant coming from somewhere under theContinue reading “Wear, Tear & Other Woes Part 1”
Wear, Tear & Other Woes Part 2
There’s a moment in the silence at the other end of the phone. a moment after terrible news is conveyed, where it feels like the whole universe is suddenly empty, except for two people on a phone line. “How?” then, after my confession “Oh….”, And then, to my surprise, re-assurance. “Yes, I’ve lost a coupleContinue reading “Wear, Tear & Other Woes Part 2”
It’s Darwin Mate!!
Well, we made it!! Three thousand kilometres across the guts of Oz and we arrive at a tropical paradise house-sit for Pete and Jen. This is a regular for them as they go away several times a year to do those typical NT past-times, barra fishing and….barra fishing. By all accounts, a fishing tackle storeContinue reading “It’s Darwin Mate!!”

We have been re-building our website and in the process we had to re post everything prior to when we arrived in South Australia. Unfortunately, even though we were giving them historical post dates you wereContinue reading “Website Update”
As Russell Coight Would Say…..
Well, it’s been an eventful three months going nowhere fast. The trials and tribulations confessed in our last post were only some of the ingredients of the cornucopia of emotional up’s and downs. Two weddings and a funeral, grief, joy, mishaps, missteps and medical attention. Yet as housebound as we have been, had it notContinue reading “As Russell Coight Would Say…..”
Cool Water – Litchfield Park
After Kakadu, Litchfield Park is the most recommended natural tourist spot, in no small part because it’s just over an hour from Darwin(more of that a bit later). Distances between destinations can be eye-watering up here, so it was a no-brainer to take a quick detour to do some exploring and hopefully cool off. WeContinue reading “Cool Water – Litchfield Park”
Tilting at Windmills
Now, straight up, I promise I won’t make a habit of this. It’s not like you can’t drink your fill at a thousand different wells of public opinion. This is a travel blog and it’s about places to go and things to see. Well, I had the awesome visual pleasure of driving through and aroundContinue reading “Tilting at Windmills”
