    Uluru (Ayer's Rock)

    June 4, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    After a three day drive from home, set up camp. Then, out to Uluru for an awesome sunset. The next day, out for several walks and a drive around the rock. Third trip out on Tuesday for the sunrise. Unfortunately, it was a bit overcast. Still, it's an amazing place.Read more

  • Kata Tjuta ( The Olgas )

    June 6, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    Afternoon trip out to Kata Tjuta, hopefully for a nice sunset. It's a bit overcast for that. Flies were very thick ( lucky we had fly nets). Is very impressive none the less. Highest point of Kata Tjuta is almost 200 metres higher than UluruRead more

  • Kings Canyon

    June 8, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    Spent a few days at Kings Canyon Caravan Park. Did several different walks, Kings Canyon and Kathleen Springs, although not the rim walk. There is some stunning scenery. Enjoyed a drink on the sunset deck, plus live music. Dingos wandering around the park at night and in the morningsRead more

  • Cahill's Crossing, Kakadu

    June 18, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 33 °C

    Cahill's Crossing is a river crossing on the East Alligator River. Can be very dangerous to attempt on high tide. No, we did not. Salt water crocodiles wait at the Crossing for mullet and barramundi as come down stream with the tide.Read more

  • Ubirr, Kakadu

    Indigenous rock art along the trail to the lookout. Can be a bit of an arduous climb,but the views are worth it

  • Maguk Waterfall, Kakadu

    June 20, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 33 °C

    10 Klm drive in on corrugated road then a challenging walk through the bush. Over rocks and through water to reach the falls and water hole. No crocodiles here, apparently. Only safe swimming hole in Kakadu, but warnings still in place.Read more

  • Darwin, Northern Territory

    June 21, 2023 in Australia

    Capital of the Northern Territory, with a population of approximately 85,000. Heavily bombed during the Second World war. Totally destroyed by Cyclone Tracy Christmas Eve 1974. Now, very much a tourist hub. Easy access to Kakadu & Litchfield National Parks. Fantastic sunsets over the harbour. Mindal Beach sunset markets, Stokes's Hill Wharf, Darwin Museum, Berry Springs, among some great places to visitRead more

  • Dundee Beach, Northern Territory

    July 1, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    Very pretty little spot. Nice place to relax, not a lot to do unless you're into fishing. Either from a boat or the beach. We were here for the Territory Day celebrations. Very interesting with fireworks late into the nightRead more

  • Litchfield National Park pt1

    July 5, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    Florence Falls, Buley Rockpool, Magnetic Termite Mounds.
    The Florence Falls have a large plunge pool at the base. There is a very nice Shadey Creek walk to above the Falls. Buley Rock pool was extremely popular, but given that it is school holidays, you can expect that. The magnetic termite mounds were very interesting. Almost tombstone, like they align north, south. Believed to be for moderating the temperature within the mounds.Read more

  • Litchfield Nation Park pt 2

    July 6, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C

    Checked out Tolmer Falls and the famous Wangi Falls and plunge pool. Took the walk to the tree top lookout. We were going to look at the lost city, but couldn't find it 😜
