Nourlanguie Rock and the sound of the wallaby

Il est 7h du matin et, tout frais tout équipés, on roule vers Nourlanguie Rock en essayant d'éviter les bandes de dingos et les grues qui encombrent notre route. Aujourd’hui, on a décidé de s'attaquer à la Bark Long Walk, randonnée emblématique du parc : 12 km estimés entre 6 et 8 heures de...

Three crocs in the billabong

En cette fin de Wet Season, beaucoup des accès du parc national de Kakadu sont fermés ou accessibles uniquement en 4x4. Autant dire qu'on ne compte pas s'y aventurer avec notre pot de yaourt (non flottant) parce qu'on a signé une belle décharge comme quoi on était tout simplement pas assuré si...

De Darwin a Jabiru (fucking dry in the wet)

Darwin est la capitale du territoire du Nord avec 70 000 habitants (ça doit être à peu près la population de Vierzon). A l'aéroport, les Larrika people, « traditional owners of the land », nous souhaitent la bienvenue sur de grandes banderoles. On récupère notre voiture (version coréenne de la...

Experiencing the Wet - Night 138

Again the wet maintained its classic rhythm of brief, violent showers interspersed with periods of relative calm. It was during one of these respites that I managed to sneak away from the hostel and take a stroll along the water. Advertised as a beautiful harbor walk, the area and the trail is...

Dilly-Dally in Darwin - Night 137

Living in the northern hemisphere most of the maps we see are not centered on the equator. They usually cut out Antarctica and the much of the vast, empty southern oceans in order to avoid all the unnecessary blue on the map. Thus, we seem to have this internal feeling that Australia is...

Katherine Gorge to Darwin - Night 136

We awoke early again, though this time to a cool breeze. A small storm had dropped some rain overnight and brought the temperature down to near a comfortable level. After the short drive to the Katherine Gorge National Park we began our three hour hike. About half of the group opted for the...

Unemployment

You know you've been involuntarily unemployed for too long when you find yourself slumped on a couch idly flicking through the jobs paper, poring over jobs which require skills that exceed your qualifications as a Good For Nothing Lay About Backpacker whilst criticising the inadequacies of...

Here's An Idea

I'm going to move to one of the hottest cities in Australia, dress entirely in black and go job hunting. Yeah. Because they're really going to want to employ me after I drip sweat on the application form.

T minus one stop!!!

Holy Cow! We're down to just one more stop before we head back to the US - crazy! Carl and I leave Darwin, Australia early tomorrow morning for Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef, our last stop before departing this part of the world. I haven't checked in since I left Malaysia, and that's just a...
