We stayed at home today, relaxing. I even had a snooze this afternoon, while Philip took the children down to the dry creek. When I went down I found them playing with Jessie, a girl who lives here at the caravan park, and her dog, Sooty. It is so nice to see them enjoying the great outdoors, letting their imagination go and learning so much! They built a shelter and played "wild brumbies", Jessie quoting lines from the "
Silver Brumby" and Esther talking about being "wild and free" (from the song ""Here Comes Brumby Jack")
Esther poked at some dry leaves with a stick, when they suddenly moved and she realised she'd found an inland bearded dragon! When Arthur tried to touch it, it ducked under the leaves but it's head was still poking out and it allowed me to get close enough to take some portraits.
Meanwhile Philip was having a tough time, as you can see.
It's been rather overcast today- the first cloud we've seen since Coober Pedy!
Once again, the evening glow and the sunset were lovely to see!

Hi Phil, Amaria and the children,
I have been following you journey with such interest. So many of the places you are visiting, we went to on our trip in 2008. You all look so relaxed and are obviously enjoying your trip immensely. I know that it will be on of your lifetime highlights. Thanks for all your fantastic photos. God bless. Rod @ PVCC

Enjoying your blog, Amaria. Amazing to think that you are really there ... although the photos surely prove it! :) Love the children's games ... feels extra real to play them in those surroundings, I'm sure. We're off to Melbourne this weekend - I'll miss seeing you and the children there!
Thinking of you, love from Henkela
I'm missing Melbourne this weekend, too!
Another fantastic day by the look of the photos. I love that you don't use watches, we rarely did. We didn't get to Stanley Chasm, but I hear that is very good too and supposedly, the East MacDonnell's are worth a look. Hope you get your pump working ok. Thanks for the chat. Rod
