Kakadu National Park

Went for an early swim in the campsite pool to refresh ourselves before our busy day ahead. Firstly we went to Bardedjilidji which was a beautiful 2.5km walk through layered sandstone outliers before stopping off at Cahills Crossing which had a viewing platform over the East Alligator...

Jumping Crocs!

Woke up this morning, sorted out and tidied the van as we made the sad decision to leave the farm today. We have had a brilliant time, but must go and do some more exploring. So after saying goodbye for far too long to Rebecca and Cheryl and of course to all the animals we finally left at 1pm...

Day of rest

I had a bit of a lie-in today which I felt was much needed and of course Sunday is the day of rest, but I did feel bad waking up at 10:30am whilst everyone else was out working. But I didn’t feel like I could do a lot anyway considering how achy I was after carrying G.P. yesterday, but it was...

A baby cow!

I felt like I truly worked hard today! Being on a farm is pretty exhausting at times! Chris and I put up a chicken wire fence that took us 3 hours in the baking hot sun, with the animals not particularly being helpful. The goats kept trying to eat the cable ties and our clothes whilst the...

Lichfield Park

It was so nice to sleep in an air-conditioned room last night! But woke up and Chris went straight to work mowing the lawns whilst Becks and I cleared the twigs and hoses out of the way. After that, Daniel took us to go and see the magnetic termite mounds that point from North to...

To Batchelor to meet up with Becks...

Woke up early and drove straight out to Katherine to have an explore around. However, when we arrived, I logged straight on to the internet and noticed I had a Facebook message from our friend Becks who we met in Laos. She only lives 200km away from where we were so we cancelled our plans...

Too hot to do anything but jump in a pool!

We woke up really early and went to Wyndam to see the 5 River lookout. This is where 5 Rivers all join up into one, but as it is quite dry, the Rivers weren’t flowing very much as it was a hazy morning so there was very little to see, which was pretty disappointing as we had driven out the...

Geike Gorge

We left first thing this morning at 5:30am to head to Fitzroy Crossing and then onto Geike Gorge. The plan was to go for a walk around the gorge and then go on a boat trip. But when we arrived at the gorge, the boat trips were due to leave in 45 minutes so no time for our walk before it...

Getting things fixed

To make the most of our expensive campsite we woke up early and went for a swim before packing up and leaving to search for a new lock for our gas door. After driving around and around Broome we finally came across a locksmith who could sort it out for us for just $15, which was great as we...
