Darwin and Kakadu

Hello everybody! We have been up in Darwin. I have now got Beyond the Grave and 1 of Card Pack 2: Branch vs. Branch. We have been to the Mindil Markets.....twice!! We had dinner on the beach. We went to a recreation centre where there was this big waterpark! We had loads of fun. We drove go-karts after. They were fun. The next day we had a look at the city centre of Darwin. There are only 3 main streets, it is very small compared to Sydney! We had dinner at a restaurant where we could sit down on a big cushion and have dinner at a bench that is very close to the ground. Then we went back. The next day we left Darwin to go to Kakadu National Park. We stayed at an actual town in the national park. It is called Jabiru. We had a look at lots of intresting aboriginal art on the rocks. We went on a cruise that we had to wake up at 5:30 NT time for (that is 6:00 eastern standard time). We went along South Alligator river. That evening we went with Justin, Daniel, Ryan, Rob and Lee to a place called Ubirr where we went up to a lookout to watch the sunset. This was our last night together before they split up with us. So that night we got to have a late swim in the pool (because we were having dinner at a restuarant in the caravan park that is in the pool area. We had fish and wedges. Then we watch a movie then a few Spongebob episodes (Justin and I watched Star Wars Robot Chicken while Daniel, Ryan and Jared watched Garfield Funfest, then Justin and I watched Spongebob on our own). The next day we had to say a sad goodbye and say "See you in September" (they are coming to our place when they approach Sydney on their way down the east coast). We are heading down the middle of Australia while they are heding into Queensland and going down the coast. We were going to stay at Katherine (again!) but we couldn't get in. So right now we are staying at a place called Mataranka.
See ya when I see ya,

The Kimberly and the NT

Hi everybody! Right now I am in the NT. We have travelled from Broome to Derby, then free camped at Windjana Gorge then we went to Fizoroy Crossing, then a free camp at a rest area called Springs Creek, then Kununurra. Then we moved into the Northern Territory. From there we went to Timber Creek, then to Katherine and right now I type these word in Tumbling Waters, 80kms from Darwin. Up in Darwin I will be getting Book 4 of the 39 clues, Beyond the Grave and Card Pack 2, Branch vs. Branch. I will see you all when I get back.

Broome

Hi everybody! We have travelled from Point Samson, Cape Keraudren, Barn Hill and now Broome. We are going to stay a week here. I have realised thatthey haven't found a realise date for the 4th 39 clues book of the 39 clues. What a shame!!!!!! Rob, Lee, Justin, Daniel and Ryan are on the other side of the caravan park. Tomorrow we are going to go to the beach. It is called Cable Beach (like the name of our caravan park, Cable Beach Caravan Park).
See ya later,
Callum

Heading West

We went from Albany to Walpole yesterday. We went on a Tree Top Walk. We walked over a wobbly bridge at the treetops. These were called tingle trees. Then we went to see the Giant Tingle Tree. It was...well...giant. We stayed the night at Walpole. We saw many kangaroos there. The next day we went from Walpole to Pemberton.
We saw a tree with runs so you could climb to the very top of it. It was called the Glouster Tree. It is 58 metres high. It was used to be used as a fire lookout. Tonight we are in Pembleton.
Bye for now
