    Have a wonderful holiday! I've been to the NT once…..Darwin…..and I don't have enough kind words to write down about how much of a stinking hot, uncomfortable, mother f*cking place that is in the middle of freaking November!!!! I hope you survive with less sweat! lol

  3. Beautiful scenery..thnx for sharing the sparkle!

  4. I'm with MsMidge – Up North is for Nutters and Lunatics (present company excepted) it's just too hot and, well, too brown dare I say? Grandma Sparkles is fabulous! I want a "tiara" like hers. 🙂 Sounds like you are making the best of it – if you don't stay too long you should be fine. 🙂 xxxxx

    Glad that Grandma Sparkles was not lost in the making of this blog post! Sparkles really are a girls best friend – especially in the outback. The photo with the huge red cliffs and v shaped sky – just remind me of two huge fake tanned thighs, so go with the one with the tree branches… just saying… :0)

  8. Beautiful pictures! I love looking at the world through your eyes!

  9. Gorgeous photos! Would love to see the tree photo turned into fabric! 😉

    Enjoy your holiday with your family!

  10. Snap! My youngest is called Charlotte 🙂 Looks like you're having a lovely holiday … I miss the red dirt sometimes (I grew up in the WA Goldfields)

    Contemplating taking husband person to NT for his 50th next year… yep I will be married to an old man! Eeek! The thing I love the most about the red dirt is the way the bottom of the clouds reflect pink but it looks like no clouds are where you are which isn't a bad thing, unless you like clouds with pink bottoms, then you'd be disappointed.

    Have an awesome time with G'ma Sparkles! x

    Ha! You think its hot there in October? Try going for a week in January. Yep that's what my hubby and I did (seriously what were we thinking?) but really other than The Olgas in the late afternoon the rest was fine. Had a ball though and met some lovely overseas visitors who left Canada in the depths of their winter and were loving the mid 40's heat in the Alice! Still its just like Adelaide in the summer really so maybe that's why it didn't bother us when we went! Sparkle on Grandma S, I love that hat! Spinifex against the red dirt, now that's a colour combo I love!

    How amazing! You're right near where I am! You're fortunate that the weather has come in cool just for you :^) I hope you're having a great time in the Centre and that you stop by Alice for a couple days :^)
