Sunday
Madeline is wanting to dress up as a pirate so we went out and bought some dress up stuff.
Monday
Madeline had the urge to get on her bike and try learning to ride again.
In the pouring down rain, she finally got the hang of it.
Tropical “built up” is usually humid, but dry. This year is special. We are here just in time for a wet build up!

Soaring temps
On July 25, the remote community of Wadeye reached 35.6 degrees Celsius – its hottest July day in more than 20 years.
In Victoria River Downs, a cattle station about 700 kilometres south of Darwin, a 37.7C day became the hottest maximum July temperature in 56 years.
Wednesday
We moved caravan sites away from the wind tunnel of leaves.
Friday
Eva received her second Covid shot.
Bought $12 worth of mangos…5kgs we got.
Saturday
We visited Rapid Creek to do some casting net practice.
The casting net got caught on a rock and jason jumped into the crocodile infested waters to retrieve it.
After washing about 1kg of sand out of the wound, Eva stitched him up.
The casting net made it out unscathed.
