In Darwin there are only really two season, the wet and the dry. The wet is in the summer and generally it is hot and humid with the odd thunderstorm or storm that dumps huge amounts of rain. But if your area actually gets rained on is a different story.
But the dry has arrived which usually equates to 32c days and cooler nights. For the next week the low is predicted to be 26c. What does that mean, well no rain, nope none for 5-6 months. Blue cloudless skies, if there is a cloud in the sky we usually point it out. It is also the tourist season were all the Australians from the south go north to escape the cold, if they can afford to.
For us it means that all of the tadpoles are pretty much graduated we have about 10 left and within a week they will be all grown up. Will still have our frogs in the door locks giving us lots of laughs.
So here are some pictures we've taken since the last post.

| Fish and chips night. This picture was taken when it was still in the wet season hence the umbrella. |
 |
| Attacked by a frog. Ok more like sleep frog sticks to Paul. He was hiding under our patio umbrella so we had to relocate him a couple of times a week. He now resides in the door lock. See below. |
 |
| Luna had some friends over from Germany and we took them to the Jumping crocodiles. Husbands were not on the menu this week. Whew. |
 |
| The ladies got out of hand so we stuck them in the local jail. |
 |
| Trying to push the trees over. |
 |
| Cool light show at the entrance. |
 |
| A lot of weekends were rained out. Hmmm the rainy season may have had something to do with it. Every time I complained that we got rained out on the weekend people said "we need the rain" well yeah but not on my weekends. It has the whole work week to rain. |
 |
| Road train full of Petrol (gasoline). |
 |
| Frog above in his new house. We love this guy he is so funny. He only comes out every other night. No girls around and no more rain so he just sleeps and two days later pops out for a snack. |
 |
| Notice the feet on this bird are like twigs this stops him from falling thru the water lilies. |
 |
| An egret |
 |
| Amazing Darwin sunsets will be fewer now there is no more clouds at night. We have to wait for the dry to really kick in and bush fires to start to give us some better sunsets. |
 |
| Lunch |
 |
| Went to see the dog races. One race every 1/2 an hour. Each race 20-38 seconds long. Needless to say there was a lot of waiting around |
 |
| So we ate while waiting |
Here are some really cute pictures of the Green Tree uh Door Frogs. These guys always keep us smiling.
