We have had a MASSIVE week, Halls Creek pulled out all the stops to ensure mother had an exciting memorable visit!
There most certainly were some exciting moments though, a Bungle flight, through past some stunning thunderstorms, a visit to the Meteorology centre, the Duncan Road and Christmas AND birthday celebrations! This post is mainly a photo post, to chronicle Mum's visit...
Here goes:

| The Ord River in flow |
We were so fortunate to fly over the Bungles JUST after a storm had been through, there was water everywhere and waterfalls flowing with gusto. This is a very rare sight, the next day this water had disappeared into the ground.

| Water shine, ice age palms |

| Our rather lovely pilot |

Christmas day was rather lovely, and beautifully paced, we enjoyed many presents, great food, and some fabulous company.
 |
| The decorating of our desert rose continued right through the day, I couldn't have been happier with my choice of tree this year. |

Boxing day, we all headed to the met centre for a tour and the obligatory 'letting off' of the weather balloon by the guest of honour...
 |
| See, Halls Creek can be exciting! |
 |
| Blue skies for the rest of the month! (no lie!) |
Post met centre, we bundled into a friend's 4WD hilux and took to the Duncan Road for some tourist adventures....

| Palm Springs water hole |

| I believe she was holding onto the spinifex for dear life, the mud was slippery... |
 |
| Sawpit Gorge |
 |
| Our trusty speed, capable, but oh so squishy! |
 |
| China Wall, with water, yay for the wet! |
 |
| Spinifex, red rocks, yellow wattle and a mother! |

Birthday gifts!
What fun!
Now we are back to normal life, with the approach of the New Year, (can you believe it's almost 2013!?) thoughts are geared towards, what will happen in the next year, where will we move to next, when will we move, what is in store for us this year, and most importantly, what do we, as individuals want out of the coming year? Though I am not much for new years resolutions, I feel that this year I have a growing list, which I intend to share in the coming days...
Wishing you all a wonderful, happy, prosperous, New Year! Be safe.
