It's special breakfast day Sunday! Delicious crispy bacon, soft poached eggs and a strawberry jam pikelet, this is our favorite day of the week (apart from payday)! Dragged our pillows and feather Doona outside and lay in the sun reading for the morning, then in the afternoon we went fishing again. Caught another good sized 'anonymous' fish (black and yellow striped thing) but then we had to stop because we ran out of bait. For dinner we made a Curried Veget...

Glorius sunny warm day, walked over to the other side of the river to the historic village. Visited the driver reviver site for a chat then went on a fire wood hunt. Put a veal roast into the Dutch oven about 3pm to slow cook for dinner (to be accompanied by crispy baked potatoes, pumpkin and carrot).

Decided to go for a walk prior to having a swim and lucky we did. Came across a crocodile warning sign! One of the old nomads nearby then told us about a couple of Crocs up on the bank last year. From here on upwards (North) is now Croc territory! We were (still are) a bit nervous about knowing the...

Most towns have the following in common: *thong on the side of the road *pair of shoes hanging from a powerline *a bowls club Today's contemplations: Why does Australia Post have no competition? Why does all United Fuel stations only employs Indians or Arabs? This morning we went into town and drove around. Visited Barney point and then went to the physiotherapist. Napped in the afternoon..Very uneventful day... Highlight today: Mel cooked an awesome Mush...
