Well here we are in The NT. We arrived in Darwin at 1:30pm (Canberra time) 1pm (NT time) on Wednesday we took a taxi to a Britz hire place and hired a Toyota land cruiser with a pull out kitchen. They also gave us for the tripe a tent 3 self inflating mattress, and stuff like that.

Then we hit the road and drove ½ an hour out of Darwin to my uncle Ale's place were I ran of down to the creek in his place and had a splash around with his dog Petrel. We stayed the night and then in the morning we packed our car and set off for Victoria River Road house which is 400km from Ales place, on the way we stopped at Katherine for lunch. When we got to the road house we put the tents up and opened all the doors and windows because it was about 33 degrees and I left the fly off altogether. Then we spotted a storm cloud rolling towards us so we shout the doors of tents (in my case put the fly on). then we got in the car to get out of the rain (which for Canberra standards was very heavy indeed) and went and had dinner. When we got back Nan and Pa realized they hadn't put the windows down so they had a very wet bed to sleep on.

In the morning we set off for Kununurra. Nan suddenly remembered that we had to eat all the fruit we had bought before the border of NT and WA which meant I had to eat shit loads of fruit*.

We reached Kununurra at around 1pm (WA time) we went to the camp sight and set up the tents (remembering to close the windows this time and then we went to the visitors center. Then we went to a gallery on rainbow rock carvings were I bought a rock for my collection then we went to a fruit place were we did not buy mandarins but instead had a mango smoothie, then we went over the first dam built for the the Ord River irrigation scheme and then finally we went to another rock gallery accept this time they used zebra rock and of course I bought more rocks.

When we got back I went and had a swim in the pool and I guess thats all we've done so far.

*I never want to see a mandarin again.
