Darwin to Broome Holiday

We're back from our outback adventure to the Kimberleys and what a great time we had. It certainly was filled with lots of adventures. There were many lovely sunsets, lots of driving on what seemed like endless roads, lots of wildlife and even some crocodile spotting. The weather was very hot but the water holes and gorges were very refreshing to swim in.

There were many adventures along the way, we got bogged on a rocky trail coming back from seeing a wonderful gorge. It was quite late in the afternoon so we didn't have time to walk back to the homestead so we had to camp overnight there in the 4wd until the next morning when we got towed out. We also had one flat tyre on our second last day, some kind men stopped and helped change the tyre for us. Uwe had his first helicopter ride ever, we flew over the Bungles which were amazing to see from above. It was a little scary, as there were no doors on the helicopter, just seatbelts holding us in.

We saw some freshwater crocodiles at one of the gorges, many kangaroos, birds and countless cattle along the side of the road. There were many Boab trees, some with massive trunks. The roads in the Kimberley were rough and only 4wd accessible, sometimes they were so rough we could only drive about 20km/hr.

Cable Beach in Broome was spectacular. The sunset here was amazing. I couldn't believe how white the sand was and the aqua colour of the water. While we were in Broome we stayed at the luxurious Cable Beach Club Resort which was a big step up from living in the campervan the last 13 nights.

Bondi

I can't believe the difference in weather we have had the last few days. Today, I made it home from work just in time before the big storm passed through the city. It poured down and is still bucketing down now. I'm not complaining, we really do need the water but its such a big difference from the last couple of days where it was warm and sunny. It was the weekend which was perfect, so we headed to Bondi to do the Bondi to Bronte coastal walk. We had fish and chips by the beach and sat in the warm sun and enjoyed a lovely afternoon. Really couldn't think of a better way to spend a warm spring day with Uwe.



We are now getting prepared for our adventure holiday in the Northern Territory & Western Australia. We leave on Saturday where we fly to Darwin and hire a 4WD camper and drive through the Kimberleys to Broome. Really looking forward to it, can't wait.

Sunday BBQ

On Sunday, we went down to the boat club to have a bbq with the Gondwana crew and their families. It was a lovely day, very sunny but a little windy which made it a little cold. It was great to catch up with some of the crew we hadn't seen for a while. The kids enjoyed themselves, playing games and riding bikes all day. I always love to go down to the boat club, it has a great view of the Harbour Bridge, plus it is only a 5 minute walk from our place.
