Litchfield National Park

We went to the Litchfield National Park for two days which was really beautiful. A must visit for any prospective travellers. We camped at Buley Rock Pools and spent a lot of time down at the Rock pools which were really beautiful with cascading waterfalls down to seperate pools. We enjoyed...

We had a good swim

We had a lovely swim at Mataranka, it was beautiful. It was like a Hollywood set paved area around the pool with tall palms and gentle steps moving taking you into the pool. They weren't serving Champagne which would have finished it off nicely though. The pool was built by the army during the...

At the hot springs

We have taken the past two days since Tennant Creek to travel to Mataranka. We are currently in the town but will be heading out to have a swim in the hot springs which I hear are beautiful. We are still having a great time and amazingly the rain has stopped which is great. We will probably...

The Canuck and Mr Orly go Wine Tasting

Escaping from the evil clutches of Gary and Eddie, we made our way to the only nearby hostel that had room for us: a hippie haven called Bambu. Once there, we discovered it was only marginally better than the hell-hole we’d left, and came complete with bed-bugs, crappy kitchen, filthy bathrooms...

"Aye Karumba" - Bart Simpson

We camped just out of Normanton last night at Walker Creek and continued on to Karumba for breakfast. This is right on the Gulf of Carpenteria and it was very wet and cold when we were there. Again we have brought the unseasonal weather to the tropics. Karumba is known as the town where the...

Scottish Chiefs to the Scottish Borders

Like any good overseas expedition, the start of this one was celebrated with good friends, a few drinks, a small food-fight, a couple of temporary tattoos, one or two tears and some great memories (although perhaps not as many as I would have liked...). My recovery was interrupted by packing and...
