The last few days in Darwin have been very hot! Yesterday we went to Howard Springs which is only about 15-20min from where we are staying in Palmerston. Unfortunately the new play area was not yet finished but Lochie and Daniel cooled off in the kids pool and waterfall. All the playing gave us an appetite, we felt like something healthy for lunch so we went to Maccas. After our healthy lunch we all went to a park and raced Mark's remote control cars around. On...

Today is Matthews last day staying with us in Darwin, so we headed off to explore Litchfield Park. Our first planned stop was the Lost City, so named because the unique rock formations stacked on top of each other look like the ruins of an ancient city. The 4wd track was very rough and corrugated but it was worth the drive in. Years ago the track used to go passed the Lost City and ended up at another waterfall and swimming hole but you are no longer allowed to g...

Today we went to the amazing Crocasaurus Cove in Darwin City Centre. 25 plus years ago we used to go to the Territory Crocodile Farm down the track at Noonamah south of Darwin but it is no longer a tourism operation.

We chose Crocasaurus Cove in the City because you get to see the crocs up close behind perspex, like Underwater World, and Daniel got to feed some smaller Croc...

On our way home we stopped in at Wangi Falls for a refreshing swim. The Wangi River is inhabited with Fresh-water Crocodiles but they don't usually bother people unless they feel threatened. Saltwater Crocodiles can enter the Wangi River early in the Dry Season, but they ...

Yesterday we left Palmerston and drove 1.5 hours to Labelle Downs Station. Let the Adventure begin! Friends of Kellie work on this Station and we were privaledged to be invited to stay over this weekend. We had no idea of what was in store for us, but within two hours of our arrival we were catching Barra from one of the Billabongs on Labelle Downs Station. They have a large tourism boat moored on a large Billabong which was at our disposal with Tony as the tour...
