In Sale for three weeks we took advantage of some reasonable weather. We got out to the beach (and the fish and chips) and over to a few rivers. Not as warm as Darwin but it was still nice.

Camping at Paradise Valley for Gaga’s 70th
We went down to Paradise Valley for Gaga’s big birthday for 4 nights. We had to spend one of them away as it was very hot and windy and we were concerned about the fire risk. Camping during the Victoria summer is interesting with the kids, particularly for the light as it was dark around 9pm and light at 5.30am.
Eddie was loving the sheep and the water, but mostly the dirt and being able to play his trains in there. Maggie played with her cousing for the most part, equally loving the water. It was our first camping trip with the full family but it worked really well and we are now hopeful that we can do more this year.
Litchfield with the Family
We went down to Litchfield again to stay over for a night in a cabin. We were very fortunate that Eddie absolutely loved it and was very eager to swim. He is becoming a real water lover. We left early Saturday and made it to Florence Falls picnic spot for the first swim. We checked into the cabin in the early afternoon and hit the pool.
Sunday we went to Buley Rock holes then onto Walker Creek before heading home late.
Corroboree Billabong
We went out again with the MacFuncans to Corroborree Billabong. Had a BBQ on the boat and the girls mostly enjoyed being able to drive the boat. Maggie had the most fun casting, especially the soft plastic frog. There was some tarpon jumping around in the water but we didn’t manage to get one.
Fishing Nightcliff Jetty
Maggie and I met the MacFuncans down at Nightcliff Jetty and we had a fish. Got a few smaller ones but Maggie was not enjoying it as much as being able to cast lures, which we did at the rocks afterwards.
