So we get up and leave camp around 7.30am and start the trek back to Darwin. Head south to Pine Camp and then head north on the Stuart Highway. A few k's south of Kakadu we saw a few buffalo that were really close to the road. Honestly that was about the highlight of the drive. So we get into Darwin around noon and first thing we do is find a laundromat and do all our washing. While that was happening we cleaned out the van and sorted out our bags. Then we ...

Our last full day in Kakadu After setting off from camp we headed south to Maguk (Barramundi Gorge). The road was herendous but was worth it. This place was beautiful! We went swimming in the plunge pool with a heap of fish and barramundi swimming all around us. Again Jodi took some coaching to get in the water. This time it wasn't the temperature but the fear of crocodiles. Jodi reckons there were bubbles rising up from underneath a log in the water. Aft...

Woke up from a better sleep then before. I think we're getting used to sleeping in the van. We spoke to the Ranger about the road to Jim Jim. He mentioned it had been graded about 2 days before. So we quickly cleaned up and headed off. We dropped into Cooinda to get fuel and ice before starting the trek to Jim Jim. The first part of the voyage consisted of about 50 km's of dirt road. Although the road had been graded 2 days prior it was still rough as s***...

After waking up from a fairly dis-jointed sleep, we ate, packed up and were on the road by about 9.30am. First stop, Mamukala Wetlands for a spot of bird watching. It's really just a billabong with some water, lilly pads and some birds. Worth a stop none the less. We then continued east on Arnhem Highway towards Jabiru until we turned left towards Gunbalanya (Arnhem Land). We then stopped in at Cahill's crossing. This is where you cross East Alligator Rive...

Well we quite possibly had one of the worst night sleeps on record. The airconditioner kept cutting in and out and everytime Brenden breathed, the bunk bed squeeked for about 3 minutes. Not to worry, 2 hours sleep isn't going to dampen our spirits. We had breaky in Darwin CBD, got our maps and passes from the tourist info centre then checked out of the backpackers. Then we proceeded to lug all our s*** nearly 2 km's to the Wicked Campers dealer to pick up our...
