Cullen Bay Apartmnts Darwin

... The Aboriginals also believe that this hardened material cures Montezuma's Revenge when crushed into water. I say if that's true, build heaps of these mounds along the beach in Cancun and problems will be solved instantly for millions of tourists a year. No worries eating or drinking Mexicrap every again...just down this termite poop with your water and away you go without worrying about where the nearest facility might be hidden ...

... and not much else. Amongst various walks to be done exploring the surrounds (all be it too hot by 8.30am for anything), one can also hit the gorge in a kayak and paddle as far up it as the clustered, over turned dead trees and branches from The Wet allow . Fresh water crocodiles as always, but they are vegetarians so safe to swim with! Check out our documentary style encounter on video.

We are now in Darwin, in an outer suburb called Virginia. David has started work with Mission Australia in Palmerston, about 5 minutes drive away. He will mostly be running their Job Search Training programs which he did both in Gladstone and Brisbane while in the recruitment industry. I am still ...

... is often used at work to control the drunken/cracked out children that are my customers, and it involves a complex mix of seriousness, disappointment and anger. What this does is severely discourage anyone from sitting next to me and definitely from attempting a conversation with me. This was much easier to accomplish when I had my shitlocks and beard, and I looked like fat Jesus (Hangover) with male PMS. Now that I am clean cut and socially acceptable I have ...

... well about a minimum of 15 mins drive and there are quite a number of them.  This one is called FreeSpirit and is right on the Stuart Highway so was easy to find.  It has a bar and a bistro by the largest of the 3 pools.  As the tables were pretty well all taken we tagged onto a table and met Brendan and Wayne (brothers) who were up for the Royal Darwin Show, (23-25th July)  Wayne has a stall there with his plastic welding business.  They are from WA and during the evening over beer ...

Es ging also weiter nach Darwin. Nach knapp 2 1/2 Ereignissreichen Wochen in Cairns und in Queensland zog es mich weiter nach Darwin ins beruehmte TopEnd Australiens. Doch bevor ich weiterfliegen sollte, packte mich noch einmal der Sportdrang und so wollte ich unbedingt noch vor Abflug ein paar Runden Beachvolleyball in Cairns spielen. Doch wer mit dem Feuer spiel kann sich ja bekanntlich furchtbar verbrennen. Nun ja ich habe mich verbrannt. Gerade als wir fast fertig ...

... we arrived in Katherine. We stayed there 2 nights. The gorge was a nice walk, but we couldn’t do the canoe trip I had been keen on as they don’t allow kids under 6 on them. We checked out the rare rocks, the low level and then the hot springs. It was all nice but not my fave place – too many people… We were then going to head into Daly River/ Douglas Hot Springs area, but we decided to do Kakadu instead as we had enough supplies for a ...

... including Gus and Edel whom they lived with. By the end of the night, we had been invited to come stay with Kayleigh and Darren and Edel and Gus, this staying a few nights turned into few weeks - almost 3 weeks actually! During our time staying with the guys, we had so much fun - there was fancy dress parties, pool party BBQ’s, fishing trips, a lot of drinking, singing, dancing, face painting, nail varnishing (for sleeping boys) and many laughs…we also went ...

... crocodiles throughout of various ages and sizes. Lots of very large and scary critters who can live up to as much as 60 years! As a sanctuary these animals are studied and cared for. We carefully stepped up to the plate to pet the small crocodile (his mouth was taped!

Our visit also took us to the Aviation Heritage Center, focusing on its impressive B-52 Bomber ...
