Well done Nabateans… Beer, wine, campfire, lovely homestead hospitality, wonderful company, and great outback. What a way to explore the Kimberleys. We are enjoying the photos in your blog. May the sunshine follow you all the way!! Cheers, Sudha & Vijay

We finally found the time to catch up with your trip. Seems like you two and Jabie are bonding well! Oh how we miss Meekatharra, what an interesting place. I should be on the to-do list for everyone visiting outback Auatralia. We were particularly impressed with the outdoor picture theatre built so many years ago and still standing! Dave & Maggie.

Go on! follow us :)
