Mamakula
After heading out to the crossing last night we decided to go down to Mamakula and see how many birds were there. It was very disappointing with only a few. However there were heaps of wallabies feeding. The kids all loved, spotting and watching them. We even got to see a joey....oh so cute! Well worth the drive.
Cahill's Crossing
Last night we went for a drive down to Cahills's crossing - not much action going on, no croc's to be seen! Only a Micaela and Zac seen to be holding hands and getting along - now that's an interesting site!!!!!!!!
On the Move
The logistics of moving a family of six across the country especially around Christmas/New Year proved to be a difficult task!! Many scenarios were thought about and looked into! And this is what they have come up with.
27th December - Transit house is available (All meals supplied)
28th December - House Packed
29th December - Upload (Pack everything on the truck)
- Chris' last day of work
30th December - Drive into Darwin
- Fly Qantas, Darwin to Alice Springs, Alice Springs to Melbourne
- Spend the night at the Hilton Melbourne Airport
31st December - Fly Melbourne to Portland, Portland to Mt Gambier by Regional Air
- Pick up hire Landcruiser and drive 1 1/2 hrs to Hamilton
- 2 bedroom apartment awaits us to celebrate New Years!!!!
We have a 2 bedroom apartment for two months while we find ourselves a house - I think we will be finding a house really quick!!!
We are all excited but also a little sad. Jabiru has certainly been challenging but it does grow on you and we will miss a lot about living a very simple life. But the possibitities of living in a bigger town (approx 10,000 - yes I can hear you all laughing!!!) is exciting. Oh, to be able to grocery shop without having to drive 5 hours to do it, being able to have a letterbox and a real rubbish collection, oh the list goes on..................................

Micaela wins Chief Minister's Literacy Achievement Award
Today was the School Awards for 2006 and Micaela won a Literacy Award. She was totally shocked!!! Her comment "Mum, how could I have won a Literacy Award? I'm no good at that" Well her teachers thought otherwise and noticed her hard work this year.
Yellow Water
On Sunday evening we went for a drive down to Cooinda to Yellow Waters to watch the sunset and to see all the magpie geese flying in for the evening. Just Beautiful!
ERA Christmas Party at the Pool
The kids enjoyed another ERA Christmas party at the pool. Besides swimming there was flying chair rides, jumping castles, kids band, a big slippery slide and lunch packs.
