 Malcolm Findlay, Willi Verdon Smith and Mark Shuldham have joined carango to add a little weight to proceedings.

We have had fun touring the National Park at Litchfield and swimming in a cool waterfall pool where Aussie youngsters were bombing the pool for a great height up the cliff side of the waterfall. 

We seem to have eaten much too much in the watering holes of Darwin and all now need a strict diet. We have provisioned Carango with huge volumes of stores for the next two months at sea with a few intervals.

 We also attended the NOONAMAH Rodeo an Aussie extravaganza of bull and unbroken horse riding at which said animals buck off a series of cowboys with remarkable ease. This is a professional sport  - simply unbelievable!

We set sail today 6th September for Lombok in Indoneaia. Will blog again from there.
