Day 60- Wednesday 6th Sept NHD . No one was ready to say good bye, surprisingly not even the Agnews had had enough of us, so despite the fact we were sure we'd outstayed our welcome, we decided to stay just one more night. . Tim and Fidge had to go to work, Lotte was eager to get to school but Archie was couch ridden with a nasty cough. . We did infact need a full day to line up some ducks, or chickens in Olivia's case - she spent the whole day in the chic...

Day 59 Tuesday 5th September. JD- Big day today, it's Fidges' birthday!! The first half an hour or so was spent watching her unwrapping presents and singing Happy Birthday.

Day 56- Saturday 2nd September, JD- The nights are a bit cooler in TP, this time of year. Probably 8-10 degs cooler than what we have experienced further up the coast, in the Kimberley and N.T. We certainly have enjoyed the warm weather and are not looking forward to returning to the cold, but cooler nights do make for a better nights sleep. Refreshed and fed it was time to get organised for our dirt squirt. Tim had borrowed his boss' KTM450 SX-F (and all his ...
