So last night was an experience. And a challenge. As I am writing this I know it's not going to sound like a big deal but imagine sleeping inside a barn, with your sleeping bag zipped up, right over your head; you're sweating (it's bloody roasting), all you can hear are Mosquitos and crickets flying around and landing on you; due to all this you cannot sleep and then someone starts screaming and shouting in another language.... So you don't know if they are just ...

We set off after breakfast at 7am. These two days were going to be spent mostly driving with pit stops.. We stopped at the Mataranka thermal pools.

One of the main reasons i wanted to come to Darwin was to do the Cage of Death... Imagine the look on my face when i find out not only is it in the heart of Darwin CBD, (and not in Kakadu National Park like i originally thought) its about 3 doors up from my hostel! Its right on the main street in Crocosaurus Cove (Mitchell Street, Darwin). When we had our travel talk at Ozintro last year, they had mentioned it - i knew i wanted to do it. But, i thought it was ju...
