Mon, 30th May, 2022 Hidden Valley Holiday Park, Berrimah, NT

The Air Force jets are zooming over us again as they land at the airport - very loud.

Steve helped Rod to try and sort out his problem with his Redarc system.

The new neighbour had to shift sites so the groundsman came with the ute to shift him to a new spot so Steve gave them a hand. His car had blown the gearbox yesterday so it was friends that got him and dropped him here last night. Hearing that we don’t have much to complain about really - just useless freight companies that say ‘pay us more money and we will overnight your parcel’ but then don’t!

Clouding over this morning making it very humid.

Found a number on the TNT site to send the tracking number and got a response saying on 27 May it was still at the Brisbane Depot!! I had put in a support request with Shippit and they sent a text that they were investigating but no one can tell us where it actually is and why it hasn’t arrived.

Sent Malcolm a text as they are in for some very cold weather down there. Ray and Carol rang - they have been stuck in the van as it has been raining and you can’t go anywhere on wet dirt roads. They have got out the cards and are trying to play Skipbo. Made me get out the cards too and have a few games with Steve.

2pm we heard some rain drops then it rained a bit harder and now it is very muggy.

I went for a walk out to the highway for a while - needed some exercise as we are sitting around so much.

The jets have returned from their exercise - probably at Tindal. A few bigger planes too - should have taken some photos to send to David.

Rod and Christine have been so helpful offering us a lift etc if we need anything.

Chatted with the neighbours while we sat outside with our drinks. A couple with their kids have arrived. They are from New Zealand and have been travelling for 12 months. He was a pilot and of course had no work through Covid so they came over and hit the road.
