Can’t believe its only 5 months to Christmas. After the last couple of months enjoying high 20’s, low 30’s it feels like we are still in March, not July. I’m sure to everyone back home in Melbourne its been a bloody long time, especially now your in Lockdown 2. Hopefully things will improve soon.

We’ve been in Darwin for a few days now, having a little break. It can be tiring travelling and staying in places no more than 2 or 3 days, so where having about a week here, getting the van and Cruiser serviced whilst here. Fortunately we’ve been here before, so there’s not a big rush to get out there and see everything.

We enjoyed dinner on Stokes Wharf the other night, very similar feel to Boat Quay in Singapore, sitting right by the water, warm night and many Asian food shops to select from. Also had a bit of a drive around the city, Darwin is much bigger than I imagined. My previous visits have been fly in and stay in the CBD basically so to dive around the extremities of the town was good.

I’m going to hit the Aviation and War museums next week and I’ll get another game of Golf in on Monday, so look out for Ray’s CRAPP (Golf Report and Personal Preference, for those who have forgotten). Susan is enjoying being in the one place for awhile and taking it easy. We plan to head south from Darwin next Thursday after the servicing are finished. Litchfield is the first stop and then Mataranka Springs. We’re going as far south as the Devil’s Marbles which is about 100 k’s south of Tennant Creek. Then turn around and come north again turning right, just past Tennant Creek and heading east to QLD.

So until next time, keep safe everyone!
