We took three days down at Litchfield Safari camp. It was ridiculously expensive for what it was, however it was a lovely place. It was quiet for this time of year and they allowed camp fires – much to Eddie’s delight. We spent Saturday arvo at Wangi, Sunday and Buley then Wangi again, and Monday morning at Walker creek. Eddie’s swimming had come along a lot and it was great to be able to see him really start to swim and enjoy the area.
We spend the weekend around 11 minutes at our house, camping in free spirit resort. The facilities were great (although the food served at the restaurant was terrible).
Eddie loved the jumping pillow and all the kids loved the pool.
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.
