Crocodylus Park

We went to the crocodyle park to fill in the day before starting Obedience and Agility tonight. The park was great with more crocodyles than you could poke a stick at. Kathy got to feed a croc by dropping a piece of chicken on a rope so the crock would have to jump to get it. The pic shows a croc jumping for a chook. (Not the one Kathy fed). Later we held a croc for photos. The croc we held was a bit smaller than the one in the photo.

Tourist in Darwin

To day was tourist day. Cameras round our necks, baggy shorts, white legs and bald kneecaps are a dead giveaway. We took a look down the street where I used to live, (thats changed), round to the Casurina shops,(twice the size it used to be), down to the beach, (lots more facilities) then out to Lee Point and Buffalo Creek. They used to be on a dirt road that needed a four wheel drive at high tide, now its bitumen, with a shop at the boat ramp.
We had lunch at the picnic area, near Casurina. picture shows Kathy near the beach, with sprinklers going in the background.

Darwin

Arrived in Darwin at about 1:00 after an early morning start. We got the hire car, a Corolla, drove to the hotel, but we were too early to book in so we had to have a couple of beers by the hotel pool.We went to Mindle Markets, pic shows Kathy on the beach by the markets, with the sunset turning the sky pink.
First dog trial tomorrow night

Preparing for Darwin

The trip to Port Pirie was a quick drive up, judge a couple of trials, stay one night and rush back. Did not even get the camera out.
Howeve, we head for Darwin just after dawn tomorrow for a week in the tropics. There is a full schedule of obedience and agility trials for Friday, Sturday and Sunday, but we will have a few days to look around. I used to live in Drwin, so we will probably have a night at the dog club too.

Bert has gone

Bert has gone home, so we are dogless again. Video shows Bert and Geordie playing with a pipe tunnel at Barmera.

Next trip, will be Port Pirie in May.

Barmara again

Another day in Barmera. We had a look at the Market in the main street before moving on the the agility trials. Picture shows Bert selecting a mothers day gift for his mum.
The trails went well, but the pass rate was down, possibly due to the warm weather and the fact that they were on their second day of trials so they may have been a bit tired.
Heading home early tomorrow, Keith due in the Dentist at 2:00pm.

The adventures of Bert --Barmera

We have an extra traveller, Bert the dog. We are dog sitting while Bert's mum is away for a few days. Here is Bert on the banks of Lake Bonney at sunset. The lake is disconnected from the river because of the drought so the lake is gradually drying out. Hope it rains more so we don't lose the lake. Kathy had today playing with Bert while Keith was judging the agility dog trials at Barmera. Tomorrow is Market Day, so Kathy will be thrashing the plastic while Keith does another trial.
