Turners' Travels: Edith Falls - walks, swimming and R&R
http://turners-travels.blogspot.com/2015/07/edith-falls-walks-swimming-and-r.html
Grey Nomads in Training. Lawn Hill - Boodjamulla National Park. Nai Yang Beach 2014. Edith Falls - walks, swimming and R&R. Just 62kms up the road from Katherine is Edith Falls. We managed to get one of the last sites available at the National Park, and booked for 2 nights - shortly after we arrived, they put the boom gate down to close it to campers. Whew! The trail back gave us lots of different views and angles of the falls and my camera was working overtime. When we got back to the base, Trev and...

Turners' Travels: Sandflies, Mosquitoes and Corrugations....
http://turners-travels.blogspot.com/2015/07/sandflies-mosquitoes-and-corrugations.html
Grey Nomads in Training. Lawn Hill - Boodjamulla National Park. Nai Yang Beach 2014. Sandflies, Mosquitoes and Corrugations. Insects just love me. I discovered after staying at Batten Point that I had many, many sandfly bites, which came up in big welts all over my body. I tried taking anti-histamines and using dermaid cream to combat them, to no avail. The park had drop toilets, but when I lifted the lid to use one, a million mosquitoes flew out - yuk! We had been told to visit Tomato Island (which is n...

Grey Nomads in Training. Lawn Hill - Boodjamulla National Park. Nai Yang Beach 2014. Busy days in Spain. When travelling to new places, I love to visit the local food markets to get a snapshot of the 'real' town, where people meet, eat and buy their groceries. I find it fascinating to see 99 varieties of chillies hanging in bunches in a stall that sells only chillies, or a stall that sells 200 different versions of ham, chorizo, bacon and cheeses. The Mercat Boqueria. Links to this post. Lorraine and Bil...

Turners' Travels: On to Darwin
http://turners-travels.blogspot.com/2015/08/on-to-darwin.html
Grey Nomads in Training. Lawn Hill - Boodjamulla National Park. Nai Yang Beach 2014. We booked into the Oasis Caravan Park for 2 nights, about 35kms out of Darwin, as there were no real options closer to the city. It was a small, friendly park, and it was fully booked, but they managed to find two sites for us. As we arrived in the afternoon, we didn't venture into the city that day, but stocked up on groceries etc at the local shopping centre. I was desperate to get my hair done, and Trev had seen an ad...

Grey Nomads in Training. Lawn Hill - Boodjamulla National Park. Nai Yang Beach 2014. Wildlife and Culture - Yellow Water Cruise and Nourlangie Rock Art. Well, 5.45 the alarm went off, and we were up and out to the boat ramp to start our SUNRISE cruise on the Yellow Water. It was cool and there were banks of fog on the water when we arrived, and our guide was concerned that we wouldn't see too much activity on the water if the fog didn't lift. But, fortunately, he was wrong. After lunch we took a drive ou...

Turners' Travels: This is where the wheels fell off - almost literally!
http://turners-travels.blogspot.com/2015/08/this-is-where-wheels-fell-off-almost.html
Grey Nomads in Training. Lawn Hill - Boodjamulla National Park. Nai Yang Beach 2014. This is where the wheels fell off - almost literally! Ok, we set off from Daly Waters, heading for a little place called Longreach Waterhole, near Elliott (which is halfway between Darwin. And Alice Springs). On the way there, we stopped for fuel, where someone asked if we had the van handbrake on, as they could smell. The brakes burning behind us. Trevor checked, and there was no problem, so we continued. Witnessing a s...

Https:/ picasaweb.google.com/112185374834241030841/LordHoweIsland02. Links to this post. Last day at Lord Howe Island. Over 6 nights, I am very proud to say that we ate out every night - hey, I'm on holiday too! Some of the restaurants were closed for winter, but we managed. We ate once at Pandanus. We had many good coffees, several...

Grey Nomads in Training. Lawn Hill - Boodjamulla National Park. Nai Yang Beach 2014. Back to the beginning - the final chapter in Barcelona. The next day we caught a bus into Barcelona city where we planned to do the cablecar ride across the water and up into the mountain of Monjuic. We caught a bus to the cablecar then found a looooong. For a refreshing ale - I might add that I only had a nestea. I said 'no' - Trevor replied that the guy had my phone in his hand under the paper. I hadn't even realis...

Grey Nomads in Training. Lawn Hill - Boodjamulla National Park. Nai Yang Beach 2014. Lawn Hill - Boodjamulla National Park. Wow, what an amazing place! After travelling about 300km from Mt Isa, mostly on dirt road, we arrived at this beautiful oasis. We had booked into Lawn Hill National Park. The clear turquoise water, and bright sunshine - what a magic day. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Proud members of the SKI Club - Spending the Kids' Inheritance.
