Darwin Dawdling

Tuesday 24th June 2008

Today was so chilled that 3 days later I have completely forgotten what happened...
... after consultation with the others we decided that I did some essential computer stuff – uploading to blog, RAC joining – after watching the Stanleys make the most of their membership we decided that for $200 it might be worthwhile – especially since we will now probably take the Great Central Rd from Yulara across to Leonora and then Kalgoorlie instead of crossing the Nullarbor – which I also had to investigate – permits etc. – it should be a whole lot quicker than going down to Port Augusta and along and by then we’ll be running short of time and I’ll just feel sad if we pass by all those great places without stopping. Now we are looking at doing the Nullarbor on another trip and even Paul is thinking that could be ok...

Meanwhile the girls and Paul investigated the giant bouncy pillow and main pool and proclaimed them to be excellent fun. Since the research for our trip across central Australia needed more work I stayed home while Paul took the girls to find a supermarket – they drove 14kms to find one that was less than 5kms away!

After that Paul cooked up a storm (excellent spag bol) while I supervised the girls doing their bouncing and making a whole load more new friends until the bouncy pillow was deflated too much for it to be safe – I guess the neighbouring guests wouldn’t be too keen on kids bouncing (and screeching and squealing) all night long.
