After another brief stop in Katherine, we made our way towards Kakadu via Pine Creek, where we had lunch. Further along, The Mary River Roadhouse was closed due to a power failure so we pulled in to a campspot just inside Kakadu Park. Very basic but OK for the night. By dark there were probably six other vehicles that had joined us! Moved on next morning to Cooinda Caravan Park - highly recommend this one, beautiful shady sites and good amenities including ...

After a lunch and supplies stop at Batchelor (location of the old Rum Jungle Uranium Mine) on the road out of Litchfield, we got underway again. The plan was to stop in at Adelaide River as a number of people had told us that the War Cemetery was well worth a visit. John decided that we would continue on a little way and find a place to camp, then go back to Adelaide River next morning! As it turned out, we ended up at Daly River....about 100kms from Adelaid...

We had a great time here, really enjoyed our stay. Personally I think that Litchfield is better than Kakadu but it is somewhat smaller and easier to see everything in a shorter time. We found a camp spot, Wangi Falls, that could accommodate larger vans (not easy sometimes) and spent 3 days looking around the area. Highly recommend Wangi, it has the easiest falls and pool to access, toilets and showers and even a little cafe. We did many of the walks, most...

Arrived at Howard Springs Caravan Park, about 35kms south of Darwin, and were told that - even tho' we had booked online, there was only one site available (apparently we were "late" checking in). The site was very narrow and a van parked opposite made negotiating the backing extremely difficult however, John did a marvellous job and we set ourselves up for the next few days. Next morning John had a Skype appointment with his specialist (all good) and after ...

We have now been four weeks on the road on our BIG TRIP! So far all is going well, we have managed to find plenty of free camps along the way, some nice quiet spots and others packed out with other travellers. As it is peak season for travelling north and west, this is to be expected. We have availed ourselves of caravan parks a few times, mainly to catch up on washing etc and despite warnings from some people, we haven't had any trouble getting a booking so far....
