Yesterday we left Mel and Trev's after a lazy morning and drove on to Kakadu NP. Last night I could not see why Kakadu is so famous - We drove 100km into the park and saw no interesting landscapes. We did see some beautiful white egrets and jabiru on the wetlands. Hopefully my mind will be changed after a few days here. This morning we drove to the Nourlangie region. Unfortunately the billabong is still closed after the wet season but the view from the lookout (p...

It was quite nice to snuggle up, the 4 of is in our camper trailer (surprisingly it felt a bit like home). Today we went to Litchfield NP - a day trip from Mel and Trev's house. I love this place. We went to Wangi Falls first and Jeff and the boys swam, I thought the water was a bit too cold! We then drove to the Blyth homestead (photo), which was near an old Tin mine. After lunch we visited the Buley rockholes and Florence Falls - again Jeff and the boys swam wh...

This morning we watched the sunrise over the port and then said goodbye to Mum and Dad (Granny and Poppy) as they head off on a 3 day APT tour of the Top end. We spent the morning watching the diamond Jubilee and packing, enjoying the luxury for the last time in a while. It was with some sadness, not excitement that we left the apartment to embark on another 5 weeks on the road. We drove to Berry Springs, just 60km south of Darwin and had a swim - the water was...

Darwin was very hot yesterday. We mostly had a lazy day and then in the evening we went to the 'deckchair cinema' and saw Hugo. It was a lovely warm night and an almost full moon. Our accommodation is next to the chinese temple and during the day we watched the young chinese children practice dragon movements, acrobatics and drumming. Today we drove out to Howard Springs. The area is under renovation so we couldn't swim but we went for a walk (photo) and saw l...

This morning, Jeff, Mum and the boys went to the WWII oil Bunkers, while i did chores. We then all took a walk through Darwin city centre. We had lunch at a cafe, did some souvenir shopping, bought new walking shoes for me and got the boys haircut! We then went to Crocosaurus Cove, where they have a fantastic Australian reptile display aswell as lots of Crocodiles. We fed crocs with meat on fishing lines and Mum and the boys swam in a big tank where you could s...
