Lisa and I sat and
watched some tv last night (Game of Thrones on the laptop) and went to bed
late. For some reason, we found
ourselves awake early and I had an urge to cook. So with Lisa and the kids outside, I set
about making the Western Omelette of the Gods!
Bacon, Capsicum, tomato, Cheese….Hell Yeah! So after my double Ristretto and heavenly omelette,
I set about relaxing for our last day of quiet before the oncoming expanse of
the Northern Territory.
We read a bit and
relaxed for a while at the caravan park before going on a brief trip into
town. First stop was the Mount Romance
Sandalwood Factory, and we set about smelling all of the creams, oils, incense
and colognes. I found one (Cologne) that
I found quite pleasant, but struggled to put a flavour on. We learnt that up here they have been growing
the Indian Sandalwood since 1999, and the crop takes 15 years to mature. It is also requires 3 host trees to grow, as
it is a parasite. First harvest is due
in 2014, and the crop is going to be worth millions of dollars.
We then travelled on
to the Hoochery (WA's oldest bootleg distillery … Rum) where we trialled their
liqueurs, and had a divine morning tea that we shared between us. We had both the Chocolate Rum Cake, and the
Fruit Cake which were both devilishly good, but I had a minor preference for
the Fruit Cake with the Rum soaked mango.


Tomorrow we head to Lake
Argyle and have the sunset cruise on the lake.
May be a couple of days until our next post...we shall see how Telstra coverage holds up from here to Katherine.
