6 Months later.......
It is a little over 6 months since we left the comfort and security of rainswept England. In that time we've grown acclimatised to the heat, the mozzies, living with no TV (quite nice actually), no fridge (a pain in the arse), no job (yippee), no money ...
GETTING READY (Long way out but!!)

Kakadu
... Aboriginal painting sites in Kakadu is the Nourlangie Rock, and the style of painting is quite different to that of the centre of Australia - all quite skeletal and a lot more intricate here. There's no doubt loads more all over the place, but as Kakadu ...
Kakadu, Jabiru & Katherine
Another incredible day. We started by taking a Croc hunting tour. I will say they are MUCH bigger and MUCH uglier than an alligator. When we came around a corner and saw 6 huge crocs chomping down on a dead buffalo it was pretty serious. From there we ...

The Land of Wonderful Creatures and Myths
On last Saturday morning we've checked in into our new home, a Toyota camper van with a lot of miles, but in pretty good shape. While in Evanston we thought that our condo was sometimes small for our needs, you can imagine how our 5'x8' living area ...

Art Rocks.... or should that be Rock Art?

Katherine/ Kakadu
Bevor wir uns zum Kakadu aufmachen, wird die spektakulaere Katherine Gorge Bootsfahrt gemacht. Leider weniger spektakulaer als alle versprechen. Die Steinformationen und die Malereien sind ganz nett. Das Wasser schiesst durch die Schlucht - von ...
