A Frilled necked lizard
They frill their neck like one of the dinosaurs from jurrassic park when they get mad. We saw this beast in the park. Hello everyone!
Hope you are all well, sorry its been so long since the last blog but we have been stupidly busy the last couple of months. We are currently in Sydney and are doing well, but will talk more about that later.
You could say we were sad to leave work in Darwin that would be lying. We will miss some of the crazy phillipino ladies but not the scrubbing and stuff. But I am sure that that lobby floor will never be as shiny!!
To get updated I will be fairly brief, largely because of my poor memory, but also it takes ages to upload pictures, therefore you shall get this part of the trip in installments. Exciting! Part one...
After we had finished work we had a nice couple of days being tourists again. We had fish and chips down by the wharf and watched dolphins swimming about in the sea which was really cool. The next day we went to Litchfield national park thanks to Helen's friend from the Deck Bar, where she had been working for the last few weeks.
Next was the long coach trip (20hrs) to Allice Springs. It
Stokes Hill Wharf
On our 2nd to last night we went to this big pier and ate fish and chips and watched dolphins swimming about. was pretty uneventful apart from several strange roadhouses, all with different themes and varying amounts of animal life. We got to Allice Springs the next morning tired and smelly. Allice wasn't as bad as some people make it out to be, it has quite a bit of character for a place in the middle on nowhere. We had booked ourselves on a 3 day tour of the centre to see all the sights. The tour was a lot of fun, and was amazing to see Uluru, Kata Tjuta & Kings Canyon. We had a great time round the campfire, thanks to Australia's very cheap box wine (They call it goon), some drinking games and a didgeridoo! Anyway, its better just to look at pictures than read things so I'll go.
Have a great Christmas everyone, with much merriment! And enjoy your New Year!
Love, Ben and Helen xxx
By the way its really strange, the days being so long and bright and it being so close to christmas, but its one of those things you have to cope with when you're travelling!
