Batchelor NT

19/7.   We arrived in Batchelor whilst it was still quiet, no one else had arrived, it was great.  It didn't last long enough and by the weekend it was humming.    Steve jumped his socks off and had a ball.  He did 46 jumps in all.  I chilled.  It wasn't as noisy as the last time so I was happy.  We left on the Sunday and headed for quieter places!

31/7.  Arrived at Robin Falls, a delightful spot by a river.  Steve crashed out with a dreadful cold and did absolutely diddly.  It was the perfect spot after the busyness of the skydive world.  We stayed for 3 nights.

3/8.  Headed back to Palmerston to get the truck fixed again.  The front diff seals have gone.  A big job with big money.  We got the bus into Darwin and have just been on the Tall Ship, The Endeavour.  It was like visiting an old friend, it was fantastic.  Now catching up with the blog.
