A month on..
As I look at my previous post, I smile.
So far we have come,
Our dream in action…
Sunset at Seven Spirt Bay
A dip in the cool waters.
“follow the dream”
But before leaving the Top End we had to stop off to celebrate. Nestled within Carig Gunak Barlu National Park around the Colbourg Peninsula is a beautiful little resort.
A little bit of paradise in a vast vacant land.

Hello from Port Essington
Glass relics, Port Essington
We Celebrated….
We had completed our goals in the direction of our dreams, 4 years we’d been at it.
Our goal was to set Tiata up for some long term and remote cruising.
Tiata sits behind a blanket of smoke in The Top End
Lounging in the water one morning…
Nature…
Lush and green,
cool and serene..
We are now sitting near the tip of Cape York in Seisia, Queensland.
Waiting for the winds to abate..
But we are in no hurry, we’ll just toddle around here…
Plotting the Journey…
It’s getting close now,
the final jobs are slipping away,
the time has come for us to start proposing a direction…
My lemons are preserving…
Reflection
Direction
Our first destination…
Cobourg Peninsula – Garig Gunak Barlu is a national park.
About 216 km northeast of Darwin by road.
Our sailing route 120nm..
It was established by joining the former Gurig National Park and the Cobourg Marine Park…
Vast and beautiful
Deeply indented bays and coves cover some 4.500 km²..
Virtually uninhabited…
Darwin to Port Essington
Port Essington is an inlet and historic site located with in the park.
One of 2 failed attempts of early British settlement..
The ruins still remain…
(We were first through here June 2007 – en-route to the Kimberly’s)
Wuwudri Walk
looking through the ruins..
Blackpoint Wharf.
For this we will probably set sail with the bottom of the tide in the evening to catch the ingoing tide through the Vernon Islands.
and will ensure and outward tide around Cape Don..
With a hopeful lunchtime arrival…
Nestled deep…
Well that’s the loose plan.
mmm maybe one last gourmet treat before virtual wilderness…
We will be there till we are ready to go..
Desire Everything…
The final jobs are being done.
It won’t be long now..
Mere weeks…

Interlinked
The ‘Inside’ world and the ‘Outside’ world are so interlinked.
A lot of that ‘weight’ needing clearing was on my computer..
I have been taking photo’s for 15 years…
- Splice…
Mesh…
Interlaced…clean’ drive.
Around 2 years ago I got a new computer,
and dumped the load on the ‘new’ ‘clean’ drive.
It showed up in my neck..
I have since deleted over 111GB…
ENTWINE……
I now feel ready for my next adventure.
The world has changed so much in the past 4 years..
So grateful for new technology…
peaceful…
Fresh..
Open…
House Cleaning…
Less then a week to moving back onboard Tiata.
It’s been a time of cleaning and clearing..
It’s been time consuming…
One thing I won’t give up is my time outside….
We’d hired a car for a couple of days.
We’d finished the chores..
So we were up with the sun and out the door…
So many road trains…
Progress
Always looking..
is one of several parks in the lower Adelaide River catchment that provides havens for wildlife in Darwin’s developing rural fringe.
One of the few wetland systems accessible to visitors all year round.
Segue
Welcome…
Croc on Adelaide River..
A sweet respite.
That clears the mind..
That energises the soul…
Galahs squawking…
Ducks on one of the many ponds…
Lots of Wallabies…
Such Blessings.
so grateful..
to notice…
Vast…
Every changing…
Other-worldly…
And tonight’s sunset…….
Passage of time..
Follow your dreams,
they take you to the most amazing places….
I don’t work well in mess,
and yet my life at this time is messy.
We are moving out of our rental apartment after 4 years and moving back on board our 37ft Catamaran Tiata.
There is stuff EveRywHeRe…
I am determined not to take any excess, some things take a bit longer to let go of….
a jumble
hodgepodge
mayhem
It’s CrAzY….
my world is changing…
Yet in amongst mayhem we take the time to walk.
To connect with the world outside..
To forget the lists and enjoy the simple soothing joyful pleasure of walking…
Breathing space.
Freedom
‘carte blanche’
dancing free
OuTsIdE…
We really can feel the buzz of change..
We are returning to the water.
We have 4 months before we move back on Tiata…
We have been in Darwin 4 years.
She’s been treated to an upgrade…
dreams takes time….
Sanding….
Tiata being loved…
The finished job
a sweet time…
with big skies, intense storms and joyful birdlife..
Geese
Big Skies…
Great storms…
and now the time has come,
to shed what we no longer need,
and make room for our next adventure…
Pretty sigh….aaaaaaaah.
and so from now to then my motto is to do…
‘One thing.’
One thing a day towards the move.
To ensure we have the space to enjoy the riches of our time left in Darwin..
Awwww they’re leaving…
Margaret Bay
Near the tip of Queensland there is a beautiful Bay.
Where the sand is white and the water clear.
You won’t find many people here the nearest sealed road is 141 kms away.
Clear waters of Margaret Bay
Margaret Bay Low tide
Map of Margaret Bay
A place to stop, to explore and to play.
The tides are big…lucky we have wheels.
Walking the beach at Low Tide..
The tide came up higher then expected. Rudy I’ll watch for Crocs..
A great place to give Tiata a dry out and make sure all is a’ok.
giving Tiata a dry out
Watching the clear water wash away..
Tide receding…
Further up the beach past a creek
the sands are sprinkled with Star Fish
100’s of them..
Waiting for the croc to swim away before crossing the creek.
But first you have to wait for the resident croc to head out to sea…..
Important tip: Check your tides and always keep an eye out.
Start fish everywhere going about there business
In a little part of the bay is Starfish City..
Off to see friends..
“Catch a falling star…”
The ‘Stars’ of Margaret Bay
Blue, white and green…
Tiata
Just us and nature,
A lone Jabiru..
A distant Curlew
what a special treat…
A magical sunrise
Today I choose to pamper me.
It has been a week that some core issues within me were brought to the surface but I have come through the other side as light as a feather. There has been much I have realised, you cannot save another nor should you try for if you look really close there’s a lesson there for you alone. So I bless and let go with love that what I saw as my tribulations.
What have I learnt, I have learnt that guilt is my ‘thorn’ I even manage to take on other people’s guilt and think it is my own.
But I have nothing to be guilty of I have created the most beautiful reality, I look in wonder each and every day. My world is so so beautiful I am amazed at times at what myself and Rudy have created all by following a shared dream. We are no more well off than anyone else in fact when we sailed into Darwin we were so far in the ‘red’ it wasn’t funny….we were a little slow to move on that’s all.
This past week has also shown me that the one I am closest to, Rudy. We are so close (we live, work and play together) at times I fail to step back and fully appreciate what it was that which first attracted me him. I saw that too this week and know to he is my divine beautiful mirror, I am so grateful.
So today I relished in the beauty I have created after walking Rudy into work I did a bit of shopping and spoilt myself with the most beautiful flowers. I lovingly pampered my home, I cleared the air and infused it with music and fragrance then ran myself a bath and ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Life is all you can imagine it to be and so much more, I am so glad I see that and I see me and I am beautiful…
Walk amongst the trees
Luscious
Step back and look..

Organic yogurt mixed with organic honey, good enough to eat. I did a bit..
Ready to jump in..
beautiful
ready to open
Divine
My beautiful experience..
Such beautiful dreams
”SATURDAY’S SOUL MESSAGE: Please be aware that as we start the weekend some very OLD energies are arising within people. These go back to CHILDHOOD hurts, so some are acting very CHILDISH & this can be in a negative (EGO – Personality in reverse) way. There are current PLANETARY alignments that are asking us to HEAL at the core/SOUL. So very positive if you can stay in your OWN space & just observe the CHAOS playing out around you. REMEMBER you will attract what you give out, so if you have been angry this week it will take at least 24 hours to shift YOUR CORE into a HIGHER vibration, to see the LOVE around you again, when you ARE feeling & projecting LOVE first. STAY AWAY (as much as you can) FROM people who are projecting hostility. There’s a lot flying around as we head into the ECLIPSES. YOU don’t need it. Be strong. Stay true. Love you.” Elizabeth Peru © Deltawaves 2012
