23rd April

Pool at Three Ways kept kids happy while mum got some alone time setting up beds and helping do dinner. Today we head for Mataranka or Katherine, James wants to just do a big drive and go right for Darwin but i really dont relish the idea of spending 12 hours in the car with a two and four year old! Any takers? hehe

So we spent another day making things out of paper, singing songs, utilising the Dvd player and for two hours of the trip the in laws took Libby and she slept the whole time! This meant i got to have a nap too as well as read my book! Heaven. We stopped for lunch at a roadside stop and ended up stopping at Mataranka for the night so that the girls could have their first swim at the hot springs.


The bat problem of the past seems to have cleared up after the springs had to be closed several times as fruit bats had nested in the trees and made the water unsavoury to say the least! This was not just a few bats but millions. They solved the problem by putting sprinklers into the trees that the bats liked to nest in and now apart from the odd flood which brings plant matter in the water is lovely. The girls had a great time swimming, Sophie trying to catch tiny fish and Olivia bombing and trying to drown herself. The child has no fear and no idea about water safety! Grr

Had an early night as we all know what happens on a Easter Sunday Morning! Nite all XXX
