Two weeks and 6000ks later we arrived in Darwin. Not bad travelling time for amateurs. While in Darwin we were setting up the vans at our friend Shannon's five acre property in Humpty Doo. Humpty Doo is approximately 30ks south of the city so it was perfect for us to see the sites. The first day in Darwin we used as a recovery day for us and the car. Washing to be done and a good sleep in. That night we did venture into the city to check out the famous Mindel m...

We headed for Katherine today...we were up and out of the camp ground early for the 8 hour drive. There really isn't anywhere to safely stay between the Devils Marbles and Katherine so we had to make the big drive. The landscape was quite green and bushy. The most interesting thing were the termite mounds. There are thousands of them along this drive. Other tourists have taken to dressing the mounds in all sorts of clothes. It provides a bit of entertainment for ...

This morning we stopped at the Ellery Creek Big Hole, another day and another Gorge....you could say we've gorged ourselves on Gorges ( stu, you can use that). Now back to being serious, it was another beautiful spot, with a great swimming hole. We said goodbye to Michelle and Adrian and headed for the Devils Marbles. The drive was mostly uneventful. we had lunch at Tea Tree. Most of the towns between Alice and Katherine are small Aboriginal communities. We met ...

We headed to Glen Helen Gorge this morning. The Macdonnell Ranges have lots of beautiful gorges for swimming. We had to get some supplies at the local Alice Springs shopping centre and I have to say it was exciting to have a couple of shops to look at... We met Michelle and Adrian at the Gorge and set up camp for the night. We decided to explore Ormiston Gorge after lunch. It was a short walk from the car park and we had a great swim. Now I generally like to kno...

We left Kings Creek today and headed for Alice Springs. Adrian and Michelle took the Mereenie loop road which was too rough for our caravan, so we went back on the bitumen towards Alice. The first stop for the day was at the Henley Meteor Craters. There are 14 craters ranging from7 to 180 metres in diameter. We went about 20ks down a dirt road before we made it to the stop. Once out of the car we were literally carried away by flys and being attacked by cateyes ...
