First day of part 2 travelling filbeys

Well we managed to pass the vacate  clean of  our rental in Bellamack Darwin with flying colours.
this and a few other things we had heard of rental nightmares was in our case unwarranted.
The  last two days in Howard  Springs caravan park were fairly shortlived for us mostly due to cleaning of the house , school commitments for the little ones and getting those all important tyres and services the cruiser neeed in preperation for stage two.
Well we arose early for a day off but we needed a final cull on some un needed  leftovers from day to day living to transform our lives to our much missed travelling liifestyle .
Car packed and temporary arrrangements made  for the new fridge in the camper whilst on the rd were made and a finally we were packed and ready to roll ,(much to the entertainment of the resident southern nomads surrounding the cabin we we had been for two days )
A quick brekky stop at maccas Coolalinga and a  post office call in we were on our way back  down the stuart once again.
Slow and steady was the pace today as we needed to be no where and in no hurry !
I couldnt resist stopping at reidy`s lure factory for a top up on some as yet unlucky fishing (for me at least).
Whilst the plan was two or so nights at gumlom falls in Kakadu i  decided  on a  detour to the Douglas Daly region where we set up camp in the reasonably priced camp ground ($15.40 per  family ) at  Douglas Hot Springs .
What a lovely place to refresh or relax in the thermal pools.
Several hours passed before we headed up the steps back to camp for some nibbles and a cold refreshment as is our want :) .
I write this now enjoying  a brief  splash back in the river and some quick shots for memory and the blog.
Tea is  approaching far too quickly and we both cant be bothered but we will rustle up some quick pasta i think and relax on our  first night back on the road.
