Dear all,
a few days ago i went to mataranka it has a whip cracking champion who i will talk about later.... Anyway that day we went to a huge termite nest that is down below. we also went to bitter springs and swam in water that was 34 degrees celcius. it comes from more than 200 metres underground where the earth is warmer as it is closer to the centre of the earth.

We stayed at Little Roper Station. there were some animals and buffalo's and a cow has a son that is a bull called donkey-big bull.
Des, who owns and runs the place is an old Ringer which is someone who works on a station. He cooked us dinner in camp ovens and then we ate together at the big table.
For our Entree we had pumpkin soup-yummm. For main meal we had bufallo that was very very chewy so I didn't eat it, but there was some yummy carrots and some nice meat-Lamb and Beef. Dessert we had Spotted Dog with custard. It was Yummm. It's like plum pudding.

we went to the wold champion whip craking nathan griggs also known as mr whippy he did a bunch of tricks and once he got his whips......AND PUT THEM ON FIRE!!!
the next day we went to the Devils Marbles we have been there two times but this time we stayed there for one night.
We stayed the following night at the Hi Way Inn at Daley Waters. It Territory Day and people celebrated with fireworks.
in the nothern territory you can make your own firworks, buy fireworks and let them off on the 1st of July. People were doing fireworks all night long where we were staying, mum loved it - NOT.

Gosh Gracie, Nan got a bit confused in Tom's post regarding swimming in Bitter Springs. We are so pleased that there are no crocs there as it is a beautiful place to swim in the lovely warm water. Nan now knows that it is the Roper River that you cannot swim in. We would not want to either with crocs around. That is a good photo of you trying to push one of the devils marbles over. Did you manage to move it at all? Also, did Nathan Griggs give you a chance to crack one of his whips? You and Tom are good at it but it would have been good to get some hints from him.it will be great to see you all again soon and hear about all the wonderful times you have been having. Much love from Nan and Pa xxxx
