Not far to drive today, looking forward to seeing Skye soon, but as we were leaving Katherine I looked at my phone to see she is fogbound at Dubbo airport and probably miss her connection, fingers crossed she’s on the evening flight and we don’t lose too much time with her! Flouro signs everywhere advertising fireworks for sale on Sunday- my favourite was the music shop selling pianos dedicating floor space to the Territory Day cause. Our campground getting f...

A gentle start to the day with no bright light blaring in our windows till about 7am (5:30am WA time). A slower start too after big driving day yest, wandered into Katherine around 10:30 to look at info centre which was pumping with an outdoor cafe housing some mother’s groups and lots of tourists. I was surprised - this town is quite vibey. We treated ourselves to a nice brunch and with the Big Bogan hat Stu wears and Matty’s Bull’s shirt the lovely waitre...

Last day in WA, featuring the usual packup spats and Matt anxious to get moving given we’re traveling 500km plus probably a 3hr detour to check out Victoria River Downs Station (where Big Stuey used to work) on our way to Katherine and we also lose 1.5hrs as we cross the border. Lots of Harry Potter and some schoolwork in car along the way, the scenery is ever changing but we are definitely losing the salmon pinkish ranges of the Eastern Kimberleys and heading...

We left around 11 and headed out to the the Argyle Homestead museum which is the Durack homestead of the book I’m reading atm. I hadn’t realised it had been relocated/salvaged before the original homestead was flooded with th...

Today a bit of a rest day with a late start and some whip cracking by mummy to get some schoolwork done. We headed to the info Centre in Kununurra where kids saw some buddies from Alice. We thought the pink diamond Centre in town might have a bit of a spiel about the mine but was just a shop, was fun to look at the pink diamonds anyways. I knew they were expensive but didn’t realise just how much they are or how rare either. The lady once she realised there was...
