So, I arrived in Darwin without anything exciting happening on my behalf, thankfully. The timing was perfect and Ashlee was waiting for me when I arrived, to shuttle me off the her relatives house- Nancy and David, I think her grandfather is one of their cousins or something else very distant- but either way, they were lovely people and had offe...

After an epic (for me, anyway) non stop drive of 5 hours, at an amazing 80km/h, we arrived in Kununurra, our last stop in Western Australia. We booked in for three nights, as there are a couple of things to do in the surrounding area, so we spent the rest of our first day there lounging around, taking advantage of it's claim as "5 Stars in the O...

Well we arrived in Kununurra and went straight to the BP garage to meet up with Chris as he finished work!! Next we went to the Hostel and met Stu, Rach and Tash the hostel owners. For the next couple of months we worked with suregold pruning and planting sandlewood trees. It was possibly the worst job ever invented and i cant believe how retard...

I spent a day in Darwin before heading out on an organised tour across the remote Kimberly wilderness to Broome in the north west of Australia. Darwin, the capital of the Northern Territory, has been wiped out twice since its foundation by cyclones. It could do with another one. There isn't a great deal to do there. There were 15 of us on the to...

(Sorry I have fallen behind here, but there's so much to do and in such a short time, I feel constantly rushed....everyone I've met is traveling Australia for 3-6 months, and here's little old me with only 8ish weeks...but I will try and do some catching up soon, if I can stay out of the wilderness for very long at one time, that is...) Anyway, ...

Slept badly on very thin swag mattresses - so much for an insomnia cure. After breakfast we went back to Geike Gorge and did the boat cruise. It was very beautiful and we spotted many crocodiles - although they were only the freshwater types - small and not dangerous. The clouds on the horizon were very black and that's where we supposed to be h...

KUNUNURRA (Lake Argyle) (12-13 October 2006) We head out the next morning early bound for Kununurra. On the way we visited Lake Argyle. This Dam was the biggest in the top end and it would fill Sydney Harbour 19 times. It certainly was a beauty and continued on as far as the eye could see. The view was really great and the lookout but we could n...

Hello all from almost the top end. We've been in Kununurra 10 days now & a few more to go as the car needs a few more repairs. It seems the electrics did not like the dust on our trip to the Bungle Bungle & the door locking mechanism is a bit confused!! We spent 3 days in the BB which was awesome. From K'nurra it's a 5+hour journey - 3hrs south ...
