... Besides the prices, everyone keeps on talking about "The Build Up" this and "The Build Up" that so of course I did some more asking to find out what was being created.

People are anxious for the wet season to return with its heavy rains and cooler temperatures since right now it is close to 100 degrees, ultra muggy but no rain. The wet season is just around the ...

... really been hanging out for fresh mangoes. They are grown in Queensland and The Northern Territory but were not yet ripe while we were in Queensland . I was able to buy a couple at the Mindil Beach market and ate them Mexican style – with fresh lime and Mexican Chili Powder drizzled on top – MMMMM delicious!!!



After leaving a very hot and humid Darwin, we drove to Mandorah and Berry Springs Reserve where we went ...

... i call it a place where he who has the loudest voice will win and boy does the idiot have one of those and to prove it while we were there the local paper reported that the local Darwin council decided to do their math and reckon if they gave the Moscow circus free rent on the land that they were going to set up the circus on they would suggest that free tickets at the front of the seating be given to all the councilors and their respective spouses and children the deal was ...

... the cultured pearling industry of Broome in particular.  It all seems amazingly intricate and delicate and is very reliant on perfect conditions at the farming stage.

We had taken the bus today instead of trying to find parking places in the Darwin town centre.  The buses were great and it was only $5 for a whole days travel or $2 per 3 hours.    

Friday – We played a game of golf today – well 9 holes anyway.  I am still rubbish but Steve says I do the same things ...

... comes to you, gets what you want, puts it in your car, and you pay without leaving your seat. Why does Manitoba NOT have this!? I'm going to bring it home and make a killing! Group diner at the Hogsbreath. I got a purple haze- it was 11 bucks! RIDICULOUS pricing! it's only 4.75 back in canada. However my steak was absolutly amazing. After diner Shaz was taking those intrested to the Vic. A pretty small nightclub. I was down for dancing. We got in free ...

... first and the kids excitedly watch planes land and are also running around the small terminal with great anticipation. Whilst waiting in the line for a latte (to help my nagging tiredness), I hear someone calling “Danielle” and when I turned around, was most surprised to find it was Max’s teacher, Sue Daly.

The children were dumbstruck / awestruck and couldn’t register who they were seeing. Max was as shy as ...

... then empties out over the throng of kids br*ced on the ground to be pummelled. With plenty of sh*de, BBQ’s *nd three w*ter slides it’s * m*jor highlight D*rwin, best of *ll – it’s free!

... see what happens. The girls learned that you don’t touch bright coloured plants and animals in the seas. Lunch in the gardens overlooking the ocean then off to the NT Museum & Art Gallery. It was really good!!! Sweetheart is stuffed there. A 6.5m 780kg croc that attacked aluminium boats regularly was captured in 1979 to be relocated but died during the capture is on display. A dedicated section to ...

... and decided to go with Kirk as he appeared to know what we were talking about, “yeah mate, this poor baby just needs a bitta love, she’s not dying from a problem, she’s just dying from neglect - jus needs a bitta attention, I think I can save her” - definitely someone who cared about cars! Kirk fitted us in for 9am the following morning, we sat in town for a few hours - nervous that we were making a mistake getting the car fixed, with the last of ...

... juba suletud. Õnneks on enamasti ukse taha pandud telefon, kust saab mänedzerile helistada ja muret kurta. Pea kõikides öömajades oli olemas ka bassein, mis 35kraadises niiskes kuumuses väga kosutavaks osutus. Söögikohad olid samuti päris meeldivate menüüde ja taskukohaste hindadega (ca 15 AUD korraliku kõhutäie eest). Rahvusparkide läbisõitmine on väga lihtsaks tehtud, üldse tundub, et Austraalias saaks ka ilma kaardita ringi liigelda, sest igal pool on üles pandud ...
