After 4 years and many hiccups along the way we have finally got the 'Green Dream Machine' (tGDM) accredited as a tourist vehicle and can now take any and all on adventures if we so choose :) For Ethical Adventures the season will begin in April 2014 !!!!!!
4x4, Sky Lights, Captain Seats, Dual Air Con ... .... and all the rest... 'The Green Dream Machine' |
So this trip I had organised us to stay, and on birthday day it was 'pack your bags Trace for 2 days we are off on an adventure !'

Needless to say she was pretty shocked as she thought we were just going to go for a day trip somewhere ... so off we went, firstly to our favorite bird watching place (Fogg Dam) for some viewings and walks and then to Daly River.
Fogg Dam is always interesting in that it is always changing. Water levels rise and fall with the seasons which impacts on the type and number of birds that are present and what they get up to (more on Fogg Dam in another post) and also on the plant life. It is incredibly rewarding to take a walk along the Rainforest Walk or Lily Walk and notice the changes. Trees in fruit, flowers, growth ... all bring depth of appreciation and understanding for what was previously unknown.

Barringtonia acutangula |
Some of the cool trees such as the Freshwater Mangrove (Barringtonia acutangula) and Green Plum (Buchanania obovata) are in flower and beginning to fruit, native bees getting around harvesting their bounty, lichens and fungus performing their role ... love that place !
Trace after the Barra ! |
From there, onto Daly River via Adelaide River township. Took us about 2 hours before we were driving through the gates of Lee & Jenny's and the rest is all about us kicking back and doing that thing called ... relaxing :).
For the record we will give a full account on Lee & Jenny's and Lee & Jenny themselves later on and of course details the results of the fishing :) For now though I figure this is enough for one blogg !
