26 Sept 2011 exit Katherine's Springvale Homestead, and oh it was
just lovely, I fed all the animals as they roamed the park free. The little
tortoises would eat from my hand, I caught a duckling, fed the ducks and the
ducklings, fed the guinea fowls and collected their lovely spotted feathers for
my Melbourne Cup fascinator, hand fed the wallabies, watched the bright blue
kookaburra's and paddled in the swimming pool of hot springs at a lovely 22
degrees, and had the best time. Tilda was so good with all the wildlife, even
when the ducks slept under the bus! I also tried a black tea recipe to
put in my hair to keep the greys at bay - you can be the judge of that when you
see me next. DB took me to a really neat little Rock Shop and bought me 3 tiger
eyes, the man there was a right proper grump but that's ok. We met some really cool people, Jacki and Mick next door in a caravan and
they cooked roast lamb for us, super yum ....... fun people we will definitely
keep in touch with them! :) We just passed a four trailer truck loaded with
fuel - yeek. 34 degrees at 10:15 am. Oooh a willy willy of leaves.
Smokey sky, burnt black country side and no clouds.
25 Sept 2011 Katherine - We met these great folks Jackie and Mike who cooked us a yummy baked lamb and vegies for dinner in their lovely van.......DB took me to this Rock Shop (grumpy old man there) and bought me 3 lovely tiger eyes polished stones.....
