Litchfield National Park Trip...

We drove to Litchfield National Park and had a really great day. The weather was largely kind to us and as its been a long wet WET we saw lots of wonderful waterfalls. We had a short break in Batchelor and then went to Florence Falls, Buley Rock Hole, saw the Magnetic Termite mounds, Wangi and Tolmer Falls. It was a long day and all enjoyed the experience.

















Some tourists traveled a long way, these two were on trail bikes registered in Switzerland!

Fogg Dam with Terry and Pamela

On Saturday I drove to Fogg Dam and met Terry and Pam on the way back from their stay in Kakadu.







After the trip it was time in the pool for the visitors.

Terry and Pam visit Darwin

Terry and Pam have come up to beat the heat of Adelaide! Its certainly a lot cooler than Adelaide at the moment and in fact the rain is stopping them from seeing some of the sights of Kakadu. They have journeyed today out to Jabiru and Cooinda and found many of the access roads closed because of flooding etc.
Hugh and I joined them for a meal at Stokes Hill Wharf last night.

Excitement in the street..

When neighbors water meter tap gave way this afternoon, instant fountain in their garden!

Wild night at the Territory Wildlife Park

I joined Hugh at a quiz night at the Territory Wildlife Park. There was a mix of wildlife there!! I saw at close quarters this Cane Toad

Here is what they sound like care of the Queensland Museum

and also Hugh's workmate Rod's sons were having fun outside as well!!

Strange colour stormy sky

Hugh and I both grabbed shots of this strange colour in the sky last night with storms about.

This is the sky as we saw it from our front porch

Pleasant Sunday afternoon at the Darwin Sailing Club, listening to Brooke Barnett with JK on bass.

Arnhem Highway, Adelaide River

We then drove further down to Adelaide River. The Adelaide River Queens Jumping Crocodile tour carpark was flooded and further down the Arnhem Highway after the Adelaide River Bridge, there were floods across the road delaying traffic.
