Chris Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 On a spur of the moment thing we have flown up to Darwin for a few days. Our son is back in the country for the weekend (arrnging for the sale of their Darwin house) and we wanted to catch up with him. So here we are, Palms Resort (Big 4) caravan park, in one of the cabins.We have seen one Kedron here, and spoken to them briefly, but wondered if there was anyone alse around?The weather is absolutely gorgeous. We are now among the folk who parade around self-consciously in shorts and t shirts, and with white legs and arms.How I envy all the caravaners out there, living the life of ease, kicked back under their awnings. In a month or two we plan to drive up from Adelaide via the Oodnadatta Track and spend about two months back up here.It does feel strange being back in Darwin but no longer calling it home....ChrisPS does anyone know where Kimbo is now?

Chris Posted June 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 So Kimbo, have you found some firewood for the Oz Pig? :laugh: If you can get hold of the Ron and Viv Moon book on the GRR it is a great help! One of the spots we really liked was Bell Gorge - I think we stayed three nights there. The Moons say the best direction to travel the GRR is from East to West (as you are doing) as the scenery is slightly more spectacular that way. We found it lovely either wayI am attaching my trip report on when we did the trip. Hope it helps.CV and Deb and King, how wonderful that you will be up here enjoying the beautiful weather. Will you all stay at the same park and have evening get togethers?ChrisStage_11______Pilbara_to_Kununurra.doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
