Yesterday, on seeing the map at the top of our blog page with a string of red pins across the land, Hamish asks incredulously, "are we really going to drive all that way??!!"
Today, after walking for a few hours in the midday sun around Kata Tjuta (the Olgas), I ask innocently, "who wants to go for a swim in the hotel pool?" (Matt breaks into huge grin because he thinks I feel like our tent and campground (does have it's own pool) is as comfortable as a hotel. Actually, I was asking if anyone wanted to sneak in and swim in the HOTEL POOL..)
Our first night in the campground at Yulara (Uluru township), I am stomping around in a slight panic because I cannot find my rubber sandals anywhere and certainly not where I left them. Matt sneaks in a quiet, supposedly calming suggestion - "maybe a dingo took them..."
Will asked for a small tent this Christmas, because he wants to camp in our backyard when we get home...
Everyone (except me) rolls around laughing at the blog photo of Will and I at the Mount Ohlssen Bagge sign (on edge of Wilpena Pound). Apparently it is pointing at my backside and says Mount Oh So Baggy...
Picture this. Hamish taking his his singlet off in the tent. It gets stuck on his head so he can't see. He starts wandering about with arms outstretched, making zombie noises until he bumps into the tent wall. He falls backwards onto mattress and continues zombie noises while lying on back, moving arms and legs in zombie fashion right up until the camera is produced...
Reminiscing about the biggest candy store in New York (Dylan's Candy Bar), Hamish vows that when he grows up, he will go there everyday on his way home from work to buy his kids lollies.
Today, at the newsagent, I catch Matt surreptitiously looking through the 4WD magazines like they should be in sealed covers.
And finally, as we are lying in tent, Matt asks non-judgementally, "is that you playing Dave Dobbin ( song 'Slice of Heaven' ) on the iPad?". In reality, the nearby pub is having a Saturday night knees-up...
