Bungles

 
Helicopter joyflights from the van park to the Bungles.  No, we did not partake!




Stayed at the van park just off the highway. Quite a nice bushy feel to the place.  Left the vans here while we drove into the park.

Wyndham

Interesting place but very run down. Not much going on except iron ore which arrives by sea (?) and is trucked to somewhere.

Museum was good. Lunch at the lookout.

We did a day trip to W from K. Did not stay here.

The babies left behind

We went to visit Nimbus and Gary today. They were happy to see us and Nim even let Tom pat him. They are settled but would like some mice delivered.
Sarah, Mat and Tom

Darwin. Last day

Now on board. Ship looks sturdy and it might need to be. Water is choppy and the wind is up

Had few Killkennys last night. Jane had a G and T.
