Exploring Shipwreck Sygna, Tin City & Stockton Dunes!

Best thing about owning a 4x4... The first off road trip! Ours was up Stockton Beach! 

First stop along the Stockton Beach was the MV Sygna shipwreck. 

The MV Sygna was a 53,000 ton Norwegian Bulk Carrier, that ran aground during a 1974 Storm.

Unfortunately now after 40 years the Sygna is now fading from view. The metal is becoming brittle and breaking off. It is said it could be gone from view in the next 6 years. So if you have not made the trip to see it, don't waste anytime, get out there soon! 

Next stop.... Tin City! 

Tin City Is approx 10 shacks weirdly placed along Stockton beach, tucked away in the dunes. Even though there seems to be no sign of human life there, people do live there. 

They had started being built in the 19th century however the main reason is unclear as there seems to be many stories. One was to shelter  sailors due to shipwrecks in the area being so common. 

Tin City was used for several scenes of the 1979 Mad Max movie. 

Driving along and seeing the dunes is amazing, you get a semi sense of being in the desert with the water beside it. 

And that was our first off road adventure =)

New Car, New house for our New adventure in the NT!

Everything is coming together quite fast for our big move! I have spent a little bit of the time over whelmed with it all but considerably handling it all well. 

The most annoying thing so far would have to be listening to hubby crap on about new cars. We decided it would be best to get a 4x4 considering we are headed to the NT! 

It didn't take long to find a new car that suited us =D

Its a little bit OHHHH LAA LAAA! Must say... I feel like the queen driving it, hahaha  have never had such a big car before. Not to sure on it being white, white and red dirt don't mix! 

We have also locked in our house! Bit smaller then what we are in now but we have started to down size a few things. We have a yard this time, a nice big one. Never again while I have kiddies will I get a duplex! 

I am dreaming of lots of outdoor play for Master Z and a big veggie garden! 

Best thing about the new house.... NO CARPET! Its a blessing. My little family is terrible with carpet! 

Now all that is left to do is continue to downsize, clean and dehoard!

Bring on the next few months! I am so excited!
