Back to Darwin

Well, our 4wd trip is nearly at an end, so it's time to break camp and head back to Darwin. On the way we stopped for swims at Wangi Falls and Buley Hole. Very strange to see so many people after our week in isolation.

Bit more 4 wheel driving was required, heading through our deepest creek - measured 0.5m on the stick but it felt deeper...

We also stopped briefly to check out the magnetic termite mounds. These mounds are different to the cathedral termites as they're wide and flat and all oriented north to south. Very cool but they did make the landscape look a bit like a giant cemetery...

A short stop outside of Darwin to figure out some logistics and have a bite to eat. We came across a rather large bat colony hanging out (haha) in some nearby trees. We might have disturbed them a bit as they started making a racket and a few took off and flew around the tree.

Back in Darwin and we headed out for dinner and a beer. Croc burger was on the menu so we had to give that a go. Tasted very much like chicken (cliche) but the meat was a bit firmer. Would definitely eat it again.

Dropped the rest of the crew off at the airport for their 1am flights home then headed to the campground for a sleep. My plane doesn't leave until the early hours of Monday morning so have a day in Darwin tomorrow to return the vehicles and chill out before flying onwards to Chongqing.Read more
