Day 93 - Smithys

Up early for phone call at 5.30am...ouch.
Went for a drive Middle Lagoon, which is about 10 km from Smithys. Paid our $20 for day pass, lovely lady at Reception, great looking park, and the swimming beach is stunning. Chrystal clear water, white beaches, and Whales jumping just off shore. We were both instantly sold, moving tomorrow, booked for the next 3 nights.

Still having problems organising to fix the Upper Control Arms on the 200. It's hard when going through a third party (Mechanic). Had left messages to find out what they achieved since Monday to get the part, basically nothing.

Of course there was a problem with phone service, luckily we we still at Middle Lagoon and the LL let me use the landline in the office. Rang the mechanic and told her we would organise ourselves and get work done in Darwin, I think she was relieved.

Long story short - part being sent, mechanic and wheel alignment booked.

Back to camp for a swim, relax, and watch silly ppl getting bogged on the beach, was good entertainment.

Talked to a fisherman camped near us, and he was telling us about how good golden trevally are to eat. We agreed and suggested he try Sashimi. He was keen to try and even dropped a fillet in for us....yum.Read more
