It has been so good to catch up with Garry, we have been saying for well over 20 years that one day we were going to make it to Darwin and we finally got here.

We went back into Darwin on grand final day to watch the game at Garry's and also caught up with Shane Gartner and his partner Sally.  It was a lovely afternoon and evening, even though not everyone was happy with the footy result haha

I've been out again trying different settings on the camera and just had to remember to spray first!!  I told Callie that I have been glowing up here, if it's not from sweat it's from plenty of Bushman's repellant.  The humid weather is definitely NOT my friend and the bug bites have been driving me insane!

Three guys from Paspaley were out at Bynoe for a couple of days.  We got to go out in the boat with them one morning and have a closer look at the shells and see the shells getting cleaned.

The property is surrounded by the bay and if you zoom in on this photo you can see the van in the shed.  There are saltwater crocs around so you need to keep an eye out for them.  

This is how high the water comes up, the tyres go right around in front of the accommodation/kitchen/patio area.

I know Kara loves frangipanis so these photos were just for her :)

This photo was the sunrise, most mornings there was a lot of ripple on the water but this day was a little calmer.  There seems to be a few fires around most days so the smoke haze adds to the colour.

Above is the view from the patio area out towards the bay.

And looking back to the patio and the office and some rooms behind it.

Although I don't love the humidity at the  moment, I've been told (and believe it) that it is just magic here in the dry so who knows....maybe we'll be back next year :)

Josh took this photo a couple of weeks ago when he got home from work....love it!!

Absolutely cannot wait to see this cute little munchkin again!!!!  We have just seen her walking this morning while on a facetime call with the kids.  She is growing so fast and her parents say she has 'attitude' so we are in for some fun times soon!  I'm sure there were lots of giggles when she was getting painted (with help from two 'big kids' haha)

We are in Katherine right now and will be having medicals in the morning for work with Viterra.  All being well, we will be working at Lock or Wudinna for the grain harvest so will be back in SA and then home for Christmas.  

Looking forward to the dry heat of SA!

Cheers
