... can be as high as 7 metres and can survive for about 80 years!  Amazing. Even more so is that the little termites build the mound by taking a bit of sand in their mouths and rolling it around with saliva which is then ready to stick on the walls of the mound.  How do they get it to grow so fast?

Tuesday July 28 we went to the Darwin Museum which was fascinating.  All the usual museum things – creation of the world, dinosaurs etc but a great display on the birds and beasties ...

We finally found a car which was being sold pretty cheap as the owners were leaving to go home in several days. The car didn’t look too great which should have had alarm bells ringing…but we were blinded by the $1000 price tag and after some major humming and haing decided to go for it…after all, as long as the car drives - who cares whether it ’looks ...
