I had two days off work. We decided to go exploring. Further west, along the Savannah Way, the familiar stretch of outback before us... Stopping at Croydon, then onto Normanton, we were welcomed by a purple painted pub! Well if it's purple, you kind of have to have a drink in it ;-). After a … Continue reading Exploring the Savannah Way

Finding travel companions through a facebook group and on my tour … Continue reading Next Stop: Darwin
