After washing all the red dust off the caravan this morning we left Cooinda for the short drive to Jabiru. After setting up camp we then drove half an hour to the cusp of Arnhem Land to a place called Ubirr, the home to aboriginal rock art said to be up to 20,000 years old. The art depicts pictures of animals hunted for food, x-ray art (where bones and internal organs were painted), as well as the first contact with European people. It is said that the red and...

Today is another special edition, super good blog entry typed up by Jack!!!! This morning we did the big Jim Jim falls walk and it was incredible. On the drive to get there we bounced on 50km of corrugated roads then an 8km 4wd track (at least dad's a good driver)! The walk was supposed to be 800m but it felt like 8km! Once we got there it was definitely worth the walk to see the amazing view. It was alot easier going back and we were glad we did it in the early...

The boys went for a walk to the Yellow Waters boat ramp whilst Pen tried to remove some dust from the caravan. We were lucky enough to see a small croc about ...

Up early for a climb up the mountain for a view from the top of gunlom. Had to be careful on the steep and dusty track however the view was worth it. Although the flow of water was only a trickle the infinity pool was spectacular. Wasn't quite warm enough for a swim as yet so we trecked back down and packed up ready to move on. We were happy to leave the dusty track, hopefully we left more dust than we took with us. We were happy to arrive at the little oasi...

We finally left Katherine today to head further north, into the Kakadu region. Firstly we back tracked in to view Edith Falls, a lovely large waterhole filled from the falls and into the Katherine River. We contemplated staying here the night however after morning tea ventured on to our intended destination - Gunlom Waterfall. After entering the Kakadu National Park we travelled 12kms before letting the tyre pressure down for 37km of unsealed road. At 35 ...
