We have decided to do a cruise this afternoon on Katherine Gorge at 1pm so after a Sunday morning barbq brekkie( Not sure if this gathering with friends for meals is going to help my waistline!!) we get out our very very dusty bikes and ride to the nearby hot springs for a little dip in the warm pools. We get back in time for scones with jam and lashings of cream which have been lovingly made for us by June.... now I know I am going to have to get a new wardrobe of larger sized clothes!!! We drive about 30km to the gorge for the cruise and enjoy the afternoon doing up to the 3rd gorge and enjoying a swim in the lovely clear water before driving back to the CP. We have happy hour around the camp and have adopted a nightly routine which Carole and Les’s daughter Kim and family use, of holding a talking stick and each person tells the worst and best thing that has happened to them that day. As you can imagine it is very hard to find a bad thing that has happened when you are on holiday in such a lovely country, so there is a lot of hilarious made up things ranging from me not getting a promised diamond ring because St. Kilda beat Geelong today to Don’s toiletry bag which has so many compartments and zippers that it is like Canberra( you can see what you want but can’t get in there) and Rosemary “accidently” thinking that it was topless bathing today at the gorge( not sure if that was the good or bad thing) and Les just says something relating to his mother-in-law for both good and bad!!! We are going to have fun for the next couple of weeks as everyone tries to find the good and bad happenings each day!! We are going to have dinner at the bistro here in the park, its roast and barra night and a nice change for a night off for the cooks!! It is freezing cold again but at least the days are warm so can’t really complain.

Hi Guys, I think that talking stick is a great idea. Jan you'll be please to hear that Rhonda as of yesterday learnt to swim breathing on both sides (coach Kim wins again). She and Judy are going great guns, we have been going to pool instead of creek as all the rain has made it dirty so often - really we just like the warm water! The best thing that happened to me today was I won lotto but the worst thing was I didn't buy a ticket OH WELL. Well you both look refreshed and happy. So keep on living the dream. Love Cherie xx
ReplyDeleteWelcome to NT. Well you finally made it. Now onto local matters. Looking forward to 2010 club champs.Had a bit of a mishap on the 4th west in Sunday's 3rd round. Put 3 balls in a row into the water.Cutting a long story short finished with a 15 but felt strangely calm and no (f.f.s) were uttered. I think it could mean one of two things- either I should give the game away or I'm about to have a nervous breakdown- ha ha ha! Anyway had a 44 on the back 9 so that should answer one question(but which one? ha ha). Neil Turner is doing well leading C grade by 2 shots. Hope he keeos it going on Saturday. Still no money owed in Wednesdays game. We have halved the last 3 games. Greg D and son Simon are in the States at the moment attending a Daikin conference then off to Mexico fishing. Can you imagine Greg fishing with his attention span? He will cast his line out, hit the bottom (maybe) and say "no fish lets go" Oh to be a fly on the wall! He will drive them mad. Apart from all that all is quiet on the western front. Love the photos and the comings and goings of your travells. Looking forward to the next installment. It's sort of like a nature and travel show. I am just waiting for Richard Attenborough to pop his head in to complete the series. Ha ha ha Cheers Stephen and Marilyn After my 3rd attempt I hope this blog arrives
