However, once the sun comes up it doesn't take long for the temperature to rise and even though it is only 10.30am it is already in the high twenties.
I rang VAST this morning and asked them to change my satellite signal from WA telecasts to Victorian. With the changing time zones as you travel around Australia it can be very confusing. Sometimes I can't figure out the time let alone what day it is, and watching WA shows on TV at night make me even more confused. I am still in a different time zone to Victoria so I will probably still be confused, but as I am heading that way I thought it would be nice to catch up on what is happening in my home state.
I bought the ingredients yesterday so I am going to prepare a few meals for the freezer today. Creamy Thai Chicken is first on the list followed by rissoles - a great standby to have in the freezer. A beef curry will follow and to finish up I will make rice salad - quick, easy and very yummy and goes well with the above meals. I also want to make a pasta salad, but I can only fit so much in my small fridge. Simple quick and easy meals are the way to go when travelling. My fridge is only 90L but it is amazing how much I can fit in - even a container of cut up watermelon and various fruits.
I was looking forward to buying some exotic fruits while travelling in the tropics, but I have searched without success all across the top of Australia. Every supermarket or fruit shop I have been into sell exactly the same types of fruit as the stores in Victoria. They are also as expensive. $2 for a passionfruit and $4.98 for a pineapple in Darwin. Apples and bananas are also not cheap and vary in price.
As I was travelling from Humpty Doo yesterday I made a small detour to visit Manton Dam. Years ago it was Darwin's main water source, but today it is used for recreation - swimming and skiing (not sure about crocodiles though). The photo doesn't do it justice, but it was so pretty with water lilies blooming everywhere.
