    Telegraph Track will be a highlight and have heard the crossings have lots of water.

    Congratulations, Matt. All the very best to you both.
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    Happy - hell yeah! Dream come true!

    Anyone who's read about our travel plans will likely recall my wife & I's hope to find a little slice of Kimberley heaven in which to spend the 2018/19 wet season.

    We had put out a few feelers out, but had been getting little back & had almost resigned ourselves to getting up there later in the season with fingers crossed that something might turn up once we were there.

    This afternoon that changed ..... and how!

    Last week we wrote to friends of friends who own a small 'eco-resort' up near the top of the Dampier Peninsula (180kms north of Broome), offering ourselves as off-season/Wet season caretakers & they have said "Yes". Wooohooo!!!

    Details yet to be sorted out, but it now looks like we will be spending 6 to 8 months in what , given a choice, would have been at the top of our list. We have been dancing around our living room & can't stop grinning stupidly at each other.

    Not only does it give us the opportunity to experience a wet season in the Kimberley (personal bucketlist item), but it also adds structure to our forthcoming journey. Until now our focus had been mainly on crossing the western deserts, an adventure in itself, but now the crossing has purpose. In addition it will enable us to build on the connections we made with folk when we were up that way back in 2009, some of whom are related to the owners of the place we will be looking after.

    Looks like a magic place Cuppa, and looks like anyone can catch fish (well until you get there anyway).
    Ease up on the dancing, remember you've just had the knee done.

    So you'll be able to collect me from Broome airport then?
    Cheers
