Beaver Falls

Oh what a day! I have been flying nearly all day up and down the country. The highlight of the trip definitely has been circling around the Beaver Falls which are kind of a Papuan version of the Niagara Falls except that they are only visible by air. They are not usually part of any touristical itinerary for this very reason. The views over the huge Lake Kitubu were also quite rewarding.

Petits Canards

A fish story could have been appropriate for April Fools Day but it is actually a sad story. All my little fish that have always been so happy to see me when I was approaching to feed them and that looked so healthy and lively in their pond died on Sunday due to water poisoning (probably too much chlorine in Darwin's water). Fortunately, I still have thousands of natural fish in the marina at the back of my house and most importantly the little duck family that had disappeared for a while has just started to reappear. It is amazing to see of the ducklings have grown since the last time they paid me a visit. I had feared they might have been eaten by a crocodile or something but they are obviously too smart for that!

Water

My favourite drink after... milk, of course. I love water. We all do I suppose as it is essential for the survival of all known forms of life. During and after a long plane trip it is more essential than ever. I got this bottle from Coles Supermarket today and it informed me that Elysha drinks 2 litres a day. Well, it is very good on her, whoever she is. I personally probably drink more than this, especially at the moment.
