Adrian took the 4 oldest to the celebration this morning, I stayed home with Eleni she is quite the sight (and sound).They all came back very excited about what they had seen and heard.

We decided to drive on since that is cooler than sitting around, the airconditioner in the camper is acting up.

Ah the speed limit out of town is 130 here, that is interesting.

Also need to show you more termite mounts. Sometimes there is a whole field full of them which just looks like a graveyard.

Every termite colony has its own castle

Also, all the way down from Darwin we have been running into WW11 war memorials. Darwin was bombed in 1942 and there is alot of memorabilia from that.

We stopped at Mataranka, this place also has mineral springs which we decided to try out. There was a little village set up from the filming of We of the never never, can't remember what that was all about.

The pool was great some kids that were snorkling in it caught a little turtle, very cute.
