We went down to Howard Springs for the weekend for Eddie’s birthday. It was mostly filled with caravan park fun – jumping pillow, splashpark, swimming pools etc. He had a great time and he really loved the jumping pillow. M&I came down for the day and another family dropped by to see him too.
We went down to a caravan park in Katherine for four days with three other families, our second trip in the camper trailer. Everything went really well and the kids loved it. On the first full day we went to Mataranka and Bitter Springs, I was surprised that Bitter Springs was much better. I had never been there before. On the second we went to the caves which was interesting but expensive and I would not repeat it – I have been to much better caves before, e.g. Buchan.
We all went to litchfield, it wasn’t fully opened yet but we want to Florence, Buley and the picnic spots. The kids had a great time although the water was still quite fierce, and I think the highlight was a bold lizard coming up to us at Florence trying to raid some of our picnic.
Claire and Maggie were away for a few days so I decided to take Eddie down the barra farm again. I gave him a few options and this was what he said he wanted to do.
He was instantly fascinated by a Caterpillar on a branch that he found and carried it around everywhere he went.
We got a couple of fish, he is interested in the fish but today he was not that interested in winding the fish up.
Not sure if this really counts as a camping trip, but we got a cabin in the Inverloch Big 4. The kids love these places with the splashpark and jumping pillow. We got better weather than predicted (still not great) and was able to spend some time on the beach.
