The next morning we headed out on one of the many 4WD tracks on the Station to do some exploring. Half way along the single lane sand track the scrub opened up to a huge dirt freeway. It was a haul road for the mining trucks from the iron ore mine. After an hour we pulled up at a place called Nannys retreat. This was a beautiful little gorge with pristine water flowing through it. Yes I know, how boring, we have seen far too many beautiful gorges. We swam and coo...

Woke to a beautiful morning on the Towns River. Not a breath of wind and fish activity everywhere, so Joe and I had to throw a lure in the water. No takers but Joe did catch four fish in the bait trap. So one of the little fish went out as live bait, again no takers. It was soon time to pack up again to move onto a place called Lorella Springs. On the way we stopped off at Butterfly Gorge. With a little imagination the place looked spectacular, the only things ...

Setting off this morning we had no idea where we would end up for the night. We drove along the Savannah Way and stopped to look at the Baba Didi (Jacona) campground, not very exciting and not nice. We had heard about the St Vidgeon Ruins so we went in for a look. We still don't know the significance of these ruins but they were interesting to look at. Nearby to the ruins was the Lomarieum Lagoon that was covered in beautiful lilies, very pretty. We then traveled...

Sunday 16th August This morning we drove the 50 odd km back out to the Kakadu Highway. We continued along for about 60km before heading into Maguk (Mar****) on the Barramundi Creek. We walked for 1km through the shady monsoon forest. The rocks we had to scramble over only went for about 200m and were much easier than yesterday. The waterfall and the huge clear plunge pool were beautiful. Wen and Col stripped off and went in for a refreshing swim. Back to the c...

Awoke to another perfect morning in the Kakadu National Park. Our destination is the Ganamarr campsite which is located very close to the two most well known falls within the park. After an hour’s drive down a corrugated road we arrived at the campsite. As usual we ginned around setting up a spot to camp. There were already quite a few here but we managed ok. We spotted the Ranger as we entered the campground and he was tending to the sprinklers to keep the...
