We arrived in Darwin on Friday, after nearly 24hours on the bus. We were ready to relax and recharge. However, no such luck, there's no time to stop on this tour! After settling into our hostel we went to enquire about our next adventure, Kakadu National Park. Our plan was to do this after a few days relaxing, as the rock tour and early mornings had taken it's toll. But the company had no availability for the day we wanted. It had Saturday though…but that's tom...

Up early again, not much sleep got, again! Hoping and hoping for sunrise to be seen. It was dark when we were getting breakfast and packing up so we weren't sure what the weather was like. But it wasn't to be. Above is my sunrise photo, nothing there! See how the colour is a bit different, though. I was really disappointed that we got no sunrise and sunset. I felt a bit cheated. But it was on with the day. The guide took us up to the Rock where he gave us some h...

It's been 5 fives since I returned home (boo) and it's only now I'm finishing this blog. I was here over 3 months ago, I cannot believe it. Well after the walk in the torrential rain, I can't quite remember the exact run of events but I think we went to see Kata Tjuta from a distance, the scene you see in the postcards. After that we went to Yulara, the actual National Park that Uluru is in. We still haven't seen Uluru at this point. I can't remember now if ...

Hello again! So after a great night's sleep (bout hour and half!!) sweating a stone in weight, we were up at the lovely hour of 4.15 am. Breakfast in the dark, and then off on the bus to our next destination. We saw a Kangaroo running across the road when we were travelling on the bus, just before dawn! The weather was much cooler today, much to everyone's delight. We reached Kata Tjuta (known in English as The Olgas). There was more short/long walk options but...

Well, we got to Alice Springs. Man it was hot! Thankfully there was a pool at our hostel and air conditioning in the room, otherwise I would have passed out. Because it was so hot and also cos of the flies, we didn't do much in Alice Springs. We did have a little walk around but we spent most of the time for the 2 days we were there in the pool! We went off on our Rock Tour on Monday morning, had to get up at 5! It was amazing! I loved it all. First day in...
