Thanks to Sally, l have had another great week in Darwin!!! If l hadnt found Sal to hang with, l think l would have gone bonkers. Marty has been working all week, and after l finish school with Boo, theres not much else to do in the day. She has been the best company, had great laughs and its great to talk to someone who understands your frustrations with travelling and doing distance education with the kids. We did a few trips into Palmerston on the bus to do...

Darwin is living up to being a great place, thanks to our awesome mates the Perkins family. This week has been another fantastic and busy one.

I also have got work up at the Royal Darwin Hospital on the casual bank, mostly doing shifts on the weekends in accident and emergency. Not re...

Were going to have a day out, first heading to Adelaide River Queens Jumping Croc Cruise and then head to Berry Springs for lunch and a swim. Everyone is very enthusiastic and the kids are beside themselves with excitement about our road trip. We head ...
