Did I mention the time that we had 4 extraordinary #AFLW players drop into our very remote community? @aflwomens @BulldogsW @NMFCWomens They were exceptional ambassadors and generous role models to the kids! #

As first 2 years of #parentgapyears come to end, so too does time at Flinders. Chosen a different path to #walkmytruth and #domyvalues. Big adventure coming for personal and professional learning. #stillresearching #stillteaching #learningfromwonderfulhumans #yolngu

Day 46: Nitmiluk - In cool 37 degree heat, enjoyed scenic walk. Work submission meant getting creative with power sources. Time in NP pool and a refreshing cocktail served by young entrepreneurs. Ready to cross the WA border tomorrow so cooked up everything we can’t take!

Day 45: Nitmiluk National Park - Today we had a holiday from our holiday. I tackled some tasks for work on my laptop, we ventured into some galleries in Katherine, fought for the last barbecue chicken in town (and lost).

Day 43: Darwin to Nitmiluk (Katherine Gorge) National Park - a Swap’n’Go treasure hunt before taking it back down the highway to Robin Falls, Pine Creek and onto the glorious Nitmiluk National Park. The birds are chirping, crocs are swimming and beverages cold. The world is good!

Day 42: Wak Wak, Humpty Doo, Wagait Beach, Belyuen, Mandorah, Berry Springs - Started with crocodiles on the Adelaide River, followed by wonderful burgers at the Humpty Doo Hotel. Then to the stunning Wagait Beach, Mandorah Jetty before a very refreshing float at Berry Springs.

Day 41: Humpty Doo, Litchfield National Park, Berry Springs and sunset at the Mindil Beach Markets - ground covered, waterfalls viewed, waterholes swam, glorious sunset witnessed. Highlight - old Blyth homestead for the lovely soft tracks and long, murky river travels.
3
Day 40: Darwin - the city of repair! Met a magician who waved his multimeter over car problems - fixed for the rest of journey. Highlights of day: Military Museum, Darwin Experience, Museum and Art Gallery of the NT, Stokes Bay Wharf, Royal Flying Doctor Service Museum.

Day 39: Darwin - the city of repair! We’re here now for a few days whilst we sort out some ‘stuff’. We ventured to the Tourist Information Centre, walked the Cenotaph and Damoe-Ra Path, travelled the Waterfront, Cullen Bay and ended up fish-feeding at Doctor’s Gully.

Day 37: Mataranka to Darwin - Hit the big smoke again, ready to repair everything and then head west. We started the day at Mataranka markets at Bitter Springs and wandered through Katherine and many closed towns enroute to Darwin.
