24th August 2014
Well, it is time to move on again. Found out today that whilst we have been bragging about the perfect weather up here, last week it bucketed down so much that the ground we are sitting on was under water for two days! And now I thank my work colleague Martyn for being away at the same time which resulted in us delaying this trip for a week later than I had originally planned.
There are way too many photos taken up here to bore anyone reading this, so I have shown only a few below. The kids are now totally exhausted after spending the last 3 days swimming, flying down water slides and playing "Red Rover" on the jumping pillows. Whilst I might complain about the cost of this place, it is the perfect babysitter and adult tranquilizer I have seen for a looooong time.
We found another public "lagoon" this morning on the beach front - another multi million dollar chlorinated free public swimming pool run by the council with full time life guards. After a quick swim and look around, we went back for more jumping pillows and water slides. I am exhausted just watching them.
After whipping up some home made pizzas for tea, i got back into pack up mode and started getting organised for the next leg of our trip tomorrow to a place called Finch Hatton where we will stay for a couple of nights and head into Broken River where it is reputed to be almost guaranteed of seeing platypus in the wild at this time of the year.
