Happy Birthday Shaz!

A day of preparations today - groceries for the next 8 days, gas and a little bit of sightseeing.

I won't bother with any details about grocery shopping - the boredom might make you nod off so I will tell you about our afternoon. The boys decided they would rather watch a movie and veg around the pool so Claire and I set off with absolutely no idea where we were going.

Anyway our impromptu sightseeing tour took us to Kellys Knob Lookout (I had a giggle at the name but Claire didn't really get it). After that we went to Lily Lagoon in the middle of town - very pretty and then we decided to drive out to Ivanhoe Crossing - we were bitterly disappointed when we saw a sign on the way that said the crossing was closed but we thought we would go and have a look anyway. When we got there we could certainly see why it was closed - the depth would not have been a problem but the speed the water was flowwing would have swept you off in a second.

Back in the car we seemed to be driving in the middle of nowhere but eventually we got to the Hoochery distillery - the only legal distillery in Australia. I sampled some delicious liqueuer (chocolate and coffee flavour) but I refrained from buying a bottle which I am really regretting now)

This evening Paul and I felt like alchoholics when we went into town to buy some wine for the next few days. You can't buy casks anywhere in the Kimberly and you can only buy two bottles per person AND you cannot buy wine until after 5pm. Tragically we had to hit a few bottle shops to stock up!

Back to the camper trailer for dinner and I will finish writint now because there is a game of Phase 10 I am missing while I update.
