Home Sweet Home

This is the view off of the balcony on the back of the house. The river level rises and falls quite quickly depending on how much rain we recieve. Right now the river is quite low and the boys have been enjoying floating down the river in tire tubes with new found friends. Jay and I have also enjoyed a refreashing dip in the river after a hot day, it is definately a blessing to have the river so close in a climate like this (averaging 30 C in the shade)!!!

And here we have the Hilton, as it is affectionately called here at Rumginae Station! This is the house that we are living in and while it may not look to special for some it has quickly become home to us. I would say that it is both roomy and rustic! There are a few things we are in the process of learning as we settle into our new surroundings here, some of which are; how to stay ahead of the termits, figuring out which lights are on gererater and which are 12 volt, how often I need to wash curtains and bedding to stay ahead of the mold, and how often to fill the tank so the water doesn't run out in the middle of a shower (but it sure beats the bucket shower at Munduku)
