I was thinking of getting my own back and eating their house.......

Darwin at last
Taking a well earned rest at the Top end

Look what I caught

Bitter Springs
Anything but bitter

Having a dip at Bitter springs
Within 2 minutes I reckon I felt a bite on my bum...possibly a croc, more likely a grey nomad.......

Kicking back
The springs weren't the only things heating up.....

what the croc is that!!!
Lisa always said she wanted another baby.....

Hello Sailor
Three weeks sleeping in a hammock costs $3,000!!! Less expensive & more comfortable than the Van Royce
