After waving goodbye to Kakadu we headed up to a place called Shady Camp, which had a man-made barrage built across a river, and which we'd heard was a good fishing spot. On high tides, saltwater rushes upstream, only to rush back downstream once the tide turns, taking gigantic barra with it as it goes. Or so the story goes. We set up camp in the blazing sun, then went for a walk around to check out the fishing action (there was none, as it was low tide), and th...

Ok, Kakadu. We'd been hearing how nice the place is and we both kinda expected to be a tiny bit disappointed due to all the hype, but man does this place rock!! A big thanks to Brooksie for some "all time tips" on Kakadu, cheers mate! We headed for a place called Gunlom Falls, some 40kms of dirt road which sees you arrive at a waterfall and deepwater swimming hole. That evening we were treated to a fantastic slideshow on bush tucker by Ranger Bessy, w...

We took off down the Stuart Hwy and headed off to the famous National Parks of the NT - Litchfield and Kakadu. First night we spent on the west coast at a lovely place called Dundee Beach, supposed to be a decent fishing spot but the midgies drove us spare, so we set off the next morning for Litchfield. We hit Wangi Falls and couldn't wait to get our swimmers on, it is an awesome spot with a nice little camp site and an even better swimming hole. Very touristy b...

We've been having a great time here in Darwin, now that the Navvy is all fixed. Did the obligatory trip to the Mindil Beach sunset markets, they were fantastic, and the food... boy, was it good. Been to the museum and art gallery, and saw the Cyclone Tracy exhibition - pretty scary stuff. Checked out the war museum, Darwin copped an absolute hammering then too. Done lots of other touristy stuff, Lee's favourite activity would have to be the fish feeding at Doc...

After Mataranka we visited Katherine, supposedly just for a night, as we were keen to head further north to Litchfield National Park, Kakadu and Darwin. However, the morning we were due to leave, the Navvy had other ideas about our itinerary... A strange clunking and squeaking noise was coming from under the bonnet. After our strategy of ignoring it failed to make it go away, we decided it was best to call for roadside assistance. The mechanic who came to look a...
