So a few of those not fortunate enough to have been able to attend the GTG this year have been disappointed with the lack of trip reports. Basically this is because we all had too much fun living it to have time for posting about it. Ever one to bow to peer pressure though, here's a bit of a trip report, at least from my family's point of view.
We had 4 in our car, me (Tiny), my wife Danielle and two boys Jake (10) and Charlie (7). Also joining me was my Dad in his hilux. Dad and I high-tailed it straight to Darwin and I flew the wife and kids in to join us. It was a fairly uneventful trip except for randomly running into Vaughn and Peter at the three ways roadhouse.
We tried a few touristy things in Darwin before we left including the flying doctors tourist facility which was pretty interesting and went looking for an old world war 2 bunker which blows our local ones on Bribie Island out of the water.
(Warning: most of these photos are likely to be of the family rather than 4wding. Sorry about that)
We headed out of Darwin and made it to Timber Creek to stay for the night. It was an impressive caravan park/roadhouse, especially as they do free crocodile feeding sessions at the creek out the back some nights (luckily we were there on the right night), then they let the visitors throw strips of meat into the air for the resident hawk population to swoop down and grab out of the sky. My boys had a go and couldn’t stop talking about it.
