Jetzt aber zu darwin...mh...hier gibts nix...flachbauten wie in den sued-Us-staaten, ueberteuerte Hostels, n meer in dem amn nicht baden kann ( wegen bloeden jellyfish und CROCODILEN), und auch sonst is hier ringsum net viel ausser farmland...ABER die Stimmung is klasse!

Goodmorning, It is the most beautiful morning here in Darwin. I am sitting on the hotel verandah enjoying the sunshine and listening to the gentle waves rolling into the Darwin harbour. We are having a fantastic time. Last night we went to Dee and Kieran's wedding and had a fantastic time. Sarah and Rachel loved every minute of it. I did too of course. The bride looked fantastic and everything was perfect. I designed all the stationery for the wedding and it too looked great. It was nice to see it all laid out after many months of preparations. Today, after breakfast we are off to explore Darwin. We might head of to the crocodile park this afternoon, although we have already seen one. Dee had organised a baby crocodile at the wedding, so we all ... read more

DAY 245 It was up and away this morning, after the usual routine, we wanted to, have to get something done. Well, after we had a Skype call from the Travelin Trueys that is, or the Not So Travelin Trueys, I should say. Our fridge supply power pack still has not arrived so after a call to In and Outboard Marine, Michael tells Andy he can come down a pick a replacement up, and when the Eva cool’s replacement finally arrives then In and Out board marine will keep the replacement part. We were pretty desperate to get something done as the fault light on the fridge had reappeared, it is still plugged into the truck and as we are not doing so many kilometres at the moment it is draining the battery. We drive through ... read more

Morning Bloggers, Well its 8 month today since we left Heathrow on that Silver Sausage, outward bound. I probably enjoy putting these blog stats in to remind us, when we look back at this adventure, just what has been done. We have done about 32,000 K's in the Patrol and it has definatly been the tool for the job, it has taken us to places that would have been unaccesible if we hadn't of had it. The Trailer tent has been great, even if you don't want one, you ought to go and buy one just for the crack, some times in distant memories I can remember it being cold, but that is a distant memory fortunately.
