My brother Eric is a master craftsman. Many years of experience has honed his skills in crafting beautiful knives. We have been gifted several over the years. When we left to go to Darwin on a roadtrip, I decided to ask if he would help me make my own knife. Little did I know what … More Ta-Dah!! I made a KNIFE !
Some of you may have come across these gift boxes of Love Pearls or Wish Pearls. Shalini had bought one for me and left it for Marc to pass on when we got here to Darwin. Although it is a bit of a gimmicky thing, the thought and love behind the gift is so heart … More Love Pearl
No self-respecting Finnish carpenter goes to work without a knife hanging on his tool belt. It is as essential as a hammer. Perhaps this is where my brother got his love for well crafted knives. That, and the passion our father had for them. He had an impressive collection of knives that are now spread … More Woolly mammoths, meteorites and crocodile bones

Darwin, with a population of 145,916, is the capital city of the Northern Territory. It is also the largest city in a territory which is very sparsely populated. Because it is so … More Today in Darwin
Most people stumble onto the story behind this weird place when they stop to fill up on fuel. That’s what happened to me. TRH (The Retired Husband) has of course been there. He just never told me about it. Wycliffe Well, is located in the Red Centre, the Outback of Australia. It is 130 kilometres south … More Aliens in the Outback
Yesterday was our longest day of travel so far on this trip. We arrived in Katherine 1200 uneventful kilometres later. After staying in one of the dodgiest, smallest, dingiest backpacking motels the night before, I was grateful to have a decent room and a king size bed.
