Week 21

Adelaide River 19th to 26th May

 

We stayed at the A.R.S.S. show grounds for a week, taking the opportunity to slow down a little. We still managed to keep busy.

 

 We visited Robin falls. Zach, the adventurous one, decided to go climbing and climbed up to the top section where he went for a swim under the water fall.

Litchfield National Park

 

A day trip to Litchfield National Park. This was a busy day and a lot of fun. On the drive to Wangi Falls a 2 metre black snake slithered in front of the car, Rach swerved and missed him…phew! Rach went for a little walk on the board walk. Whilst Guy and the kids were dipping in the water, to find a goanna, then a snake and some big spider webs with big spiders…… so she was a little hesitant to swim.

We decided to go down a 4WD only track to the lost city, this was Rach’s first time driving a 4WD only track. She admits it was a lot of fun although Guy was telling Rach to go slowly through the water, he drove the track on the way back and water splashed over the roof, go slow my bottom. After reaching the lost city we went for a walk and had a look at the stone formations.

 

Florence Falls was also a nice place to see in the park.

 

Back at camp, across the highway, we checked out a stuffed water buffalo at the local pub. It was the one from the Crocodile Dundee movie.

Washing the car…. How many time can you wash the car….. Comments were made from other campers “Are you trying to make it grow?” After Guy had washed it before going to Litchfield and it was sparkling…. Hmm I took it through a few massive puddles and dirt in Litchfield and yep he had to wash it again…Ooops!

The kids enjoyed being able to run around in safety.

There is a local prisoner area next to the race course… which we found out after paying for the week… they kept to themselves no harm.
