Litchfield / Tumbling Waters

We got into tumbling waters for a two night camping trip. The cold dry was not around, it was quite warm which made swimming nice but going to bed at 8pm difficult. The portable fans went a long way.

The kids liked it and the caravan park was nice. It was a bit noisy both nights until around 11.30pm. The food was decent – Eddie got his bowl of chips. One of the highlights was Eddie coming back from kinder to find the car parked and planting himself in the carseat for “Eddie camping sleep in tents” he was so excited.

We went to Buley Rockholes and another of our favourite picnic spots.

Kakadu Camping Trip

The first camping trip we have been on up here since the kids were born and it went off very well. Eddie loved the tents (and we knew Maggie would). We stayed at Cooinda and there was a highlight of Eddie playing on the jumping pillow with all the other camp kids.

Saturday we went to Ubirr and Nourlangie. We spend the afternoon in the swimming pool.

Sunday we found Ikomarywa water hole. We went to pine creek but unfortunately the old trains were closed due to lack of volunteers to run it.

Overall a very successful trip.

BARRA FARM WITH EDDIE

Maggie was sick so Eddie came with me and Pa to the Barra farm for Pa’s birthday. I had planned on taking him anyway as a spectator because the last time he was not very interested. Maybe it was luck that Maggie couldn’t come because he really enjoyed himself! He played a lot, enjoyed winding the fishing rod in, was interested in touching the fish and was the last one to want to leave. And he’s so cute in his Akubra!
