Nitmiluk, Darwin

Days 24-25, Monday -Tuesday, 5-6 July 2021

An Agile Wallaby that dropped in for its breakfast as we had our morning coffee

Monday began ( after two espresso coffees , of course) with a pleasant walk up and around the escarpment- memories of our Jatbula Trip three years ago….even insomuch as it was getting a bit toasty as we got back .

The afternoon involved an admin trip to town to grab a cable for the solar panel… and a loaf of fresh bread 😋. After lunch at camp and Mark ingesting too much bread we went for a lovely ( very cold ) swim. After a cleansing ale and dinner back at camp it was an early night . Not much sleep due to the ‘festival of bats’ happening over the camp site.

Tuesday morning . Still can’t get into WA – were supposed to be on the Gibb River Road in the Kimberley by now. Made a D to head north to Darwin for a few days R and R . Great brunch at the Finch Cafe in Katherine, into Darwin by 1730. Kicking back now in air conditioned bliss, ( it’s humid), bit of admin with the battery system tomorrow morning , dinner with Dave B planned for tomorrow night.

    Hi MT & Nessie, Thanks for current update, we are enjoying the travel without the expense! Did you require new tyres or were they repairable? What problem with the battery? Sad news, Ian Humby died yesterday and I am seeing the family tomorrow re funeral arrangements. Continue your adventures and stay safe. Dad/GB & Sue.xxx
