The city of Darwin is a great place. It looks like a large city but has a small town feel. The weather is wonderful, around 30C so I even got a tan again. Woo hoo The Darwin to Kakadu tour was good. The guide was a bit of a let down because he wasn't as good as the previous 2 but it was still nice. We did a lot more driving than I expected but the scenery was nice...what I saw of it when I wasn't sleeping anyway. Day 1 was spent in Litchfield National Park...

I made it to Darwin, 1,500 Kilometers from Alice Springs, and it seems like an awesome city. I am really excited to explore it when I get back from my Kakadu safari Sunday arvo. There wasn't much to see between Alice Springs to Darwin but the trip was good...what I saw of it anyway. Whenever we were on the road I spend my time in the back with my foot up so I got to know the ceiling quite well when I wasn't sleeping. There are 2 buses traveling together so th...

I just got back from my 3 day tour to Uluru and I am now back in Alice Springs tonight to start on the next leg of the journey up to Darwin. It was AMAZING!! We started out bright and early Saturday morning and headed down to Uluru wich is just over 400 Kilometers from Alice Springs. We saw the rock but first went on a trek in Kata Tjuta (the Olgas) which is a big rocky outcrop type place which was beautiful. We then headed back to Uluru to watch the sunset, ...

So I didn't get very good sleep last night. I didn't get a pillow for some reason but that was fine because I had my travel one. The bad thing was all I had was a sheet and it gets really cold here at night! I had my fleece pants on and used my towel as an extra blanket but it wasn't nearly enough. I had a long sleeve shirt and jumper on but it still wasn't enough. I set my alarm for 6am but I was too frozen to even think of getting out of bed. I checked th...

I was going to get up at 7:30 but didn't feel like it so it was about 8:15 before I got going. This wasn't a problem though because I had plenty of time to get ready and repack my things. I said goodbye to Tina and checked out by 9:45. I had to stop at the Trackside Backery one last time for a breakfast quiche and then headed to the bus stop in plenty of time for the 10:23 bus instead of the 10:43 like I had planned. I had a nice chat with an older lady who w...
