We were up at 5:30am this morning to go on the Yellow Water billabong sunrise cruise. The cruise went for 2 hours and winds its way through the yellow water billabong and south alligator river. It was a pretty sunrise over the billabong and there was a lot of smoke (from the fires in the national park) and fog to add to the ambience. It was such a great cruise and we saw so much wildlife including, 2 male saltie's around 4.2 metres, lots of female salties a...

While we were eating breakfast this morning Josh fell head first off the dining room lounge chair and flipped over and onto the floor. We don't know how he did it as he was laying down on the chair and next minute we saw him fall. He hurt himself a little bit but recovered quickly. We left our campsite around 9am and went to Maguk. It is a 2km return walk through monsoon forest and along a sandy and rocky creek which leads to a waterfall and clear plunge pool. T...

205 kms / 3 hrs Katherine - Kakadu Thankfully Bronte woke up fine this morning although Josh was very cranky with daddy and kept saying that daddy made Bronte throw up. We left Katherine around 10am today and sadly it was time to farewell mum and dad (who are driving back to Sydney) whilst we head North to Kakadu. When we arrived at Mary River Roadhouse to collect our National Park Pass we were served by a backpacker who couldn't answer any of my qu...

106 kms We did lots of washing (very handy that mum and dad have a washing machine in their caravan!) and then Rog, Dad & I drove to Katherine (Nitmiluk) Gorge. We did the 1st walk to the lookout and looked out over the 1st gorge. Katherine Gorge is made up of 13 gorges so best to see via a boat cruise or helicopter flight. Rog had a swim once we had finished walking. We had a quick look at the visitor centre display and then we went back to town. Rog ...

193 kms / 2 ½ hrs Victoria River - Katherine We awoke to smoke this morning as there are a lot of fires around Victoria River. It was pretty thick and smelly. All our clothes, towels and the caravan smell of smoke so we were happy to leave around 8:45am and drive the 190km to Katherine. Mum and Dad followed us for most of the way but when we were about 50kms out of Katherine they overtook us so they could continue on at 130 kmsph instead of our slow 90...
