Travel Evolution - Darwin NT

Got to Darwin late on Wednesday night (25th July) and am staying at the backpackers (Melaleuca on Mitchell). Not bad for a backpackers - not the best I have stayed at but the chicks I am sharing with are really cool. Checked out the Darwin show with some pig racing, spear throwing and also...

World heritage site

We left Darwin and headed straight for Kakadu National Park. We stopped at Humpty Doo because with a name like that you have to say that you have been there. We stopped at Aurora, Kakadu for the night and we had dingoes and wallabies around our truck. During the night the dingoes were wailing...

We are leaving

Today we relunctantly leave Darwin after a lovely six days. We are off to Kakadu. I spent a day on my own travelling into town and looking at all the sites I am interested in. I went to Government House where the Administrator, Ted Egan lives, and to the Parliament House also. I spent some...

Having a rest

We have been staying at 'Shady Glen' (would you believe the moniker) in Darwin for the past couple of days and we intend to leave Saturday for Kakadu. We are having a great time exploring Darwin and really love it. We do not like the mossies which are constantly attacking us and we have gone...

Day 17

Checked out of my wonderful, luxurious hotel after a really good night's sleep and walked down to Doctor's Gulley to watch the fish feeding, then walked back into town for several hours' window shopping. Met a really nice Australian couple with an adorable nine month old. Got back to the hotel...

Day 16

For some reason, I was up literally at the crack of dawn, probably due to my previous five days of camping. Called Tom. Went to the Smith Street mall running my errands -- drop off film, going to the bank, etc. Then I went on this "Mangroves and Mudcrabs" tour, only I was the only one! ...

Day 15 (Continued)

Checked into the Atrium Hotel, a fortune but worth it as the room has a real bathtub. After using it, Paul, Angela and I had dinner at the hotel, I did my laundry and went to sleep.

Day 14

The next day we sought out the Katherine River. This time we had John, Kerstin, Melinda, her aunt (same age), Kevin and Ann Marie with us. We lost the road several times and it seemed as though we drove in circles for quite a bit, but we eventually found our way there -- a peaceful little...

Day 13

The next day we built a road, literally. First, Ron (Bull) cooked us a wonderful breakfast of french toast, bacon and sausage. We then picked up our aboriginal guide, John, and two others, 16 year old Kerstin and 6 year old "Mr." Ed. Our first stop was a small hill which Brad (Fletcher)...

Day 12

This morning we first visited another rock art site, Ubirr Rock, and again met up with Nick's group for lunch and a quick swim at the Four Seasons hotel. Then it was a "yellow waters" cruise for crocodile spotting, which was successful. Joyce, Paul, Angela and I were then loaded onto a tiny...
