Where: Darwin of course.

Hanging out with: The Raymonds of course.

Connection: Tash worked with Graeme in Perth

After an overnight visit to Katherine Gorge we arrived in Darwin to celebrate the 30^th birthday of the Raymond twins – Tash and Jonelle. Although Tash has a real twin sister, Tash and I call each other “twin” because we look more alike than she does to her actual twin sister. Also she’s part Lankan – which means we are related by marriage somehow (my cousin’s ex-wife’s mother’s partner is Tash’s granduncle – figure that one out). And to confuse things even more Tash’s husband Greg is my birthday twin. A friendship of many happy coincidences.

The Raymond twins decided to celebrate their birthday in Darwin and most of their family joined them. It was a lovely excuse to hangout with them for the weekend which or course revolved around eating and drinking.

We also had a wonderful day at Litchfield National Park swimming in every waterhole we came across (no estuarine crocs in there).
