See ya next time NT

NT you haven’t disappointed, it’s been an absolute pleasure discovering what you had to offer?

NT- Unforgiving, dry and barron but I mean that with respect ,yes it’s hot no actually boiling and humid, the concrete radiators heat the sun burns into your skin. Air conditioning has been a blessing, some days the heat is so intense you just stay inside and the collection of fans have got us through some nasty hot nights, I now understand the need for a swimming pool especially in the middle of whop whop.

You hear of the vast landscape of Australia but don’t really understand how vast until you drive it! NT can be unforgiving it’s a perfect example of “if you get lost here your in a world of pain” the roadhouses are the oasis in the outback, you can be in butt no where and get much needed supplies, cooked food , cold beer and a safe nights sleep, roadhouses are an integral part of the logistical makeup of keeping this counties supply chain running and I challenge anyone to work in some of the most remote places within this country.

Yes it’s dry but when that wet season comes one can only imagine
how the landscape changes as the water flows, the gorges fill and the creeks flow!
The crocs are plentiful and protected the wildlife incredible especially within the wetlands. Yes you have to be aware of croc country and keep your distance from the edge and only swim in places on the map, accidents happen and people get taken and particularly dogs!

Darwin isn’t a busy city like most, the pace is slower and people more friendlier. We have witnessed and received acts of kindness, total strangers stopping & helping us out when we broke down in Licthfield NP.

The springs have been a high light which I never knew existed becoming our best buddy in the heat of the arvo!
Katherine was a surprise , even with the local problems it still had surprises to offer.
There’s a calmness in the NT , a more laid back kind of state, maybe it’s the temps or the remoteness but we can guarantee we will be back!Read more
