Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia christinaukDay 11 and 12 Kim woke up at 4am unable to sleep so she started cleaning. I got up at 5:30 to join her. Eventually we got packed and cleaned up and decided to clean the outside of the van to hide the evidence that we had been off-road. We had a nice moment at Howard Springs Park. We had gone there hoping to swim but it was closed (don't go near Kakadu during the Wet). However the pool had turtles and barramundi. We had never seen barramundi before and now we knew what the big deal was. These ...
Darwin, Australia doodlebugsAfter four months, which to us has felt like a life time (our own decision of course) we are finally leaving Darwin and Australia hurray!! Maybe one day we're be back to do Western Australia, maybe not, who knows!? We have certainly been experiencing a mixture of emotions, especially with such a sour ending with the van, poor old girl! We can't quite believe how quickly our year 'down under' has slipped away - this day has suddenly just crept up on us! This country is just far too big, a year...
Darwin, Australia lucy_and_matt Flight left Adelaide half an hour late & arrived safely in Darwin. Our first we spent touring the city & Mindle Beach Market. It was awesome with foods all over the globe with a fantastic sunset to top off a great day.
Our second day Litchfield National Park, swimming in the waterfalls and natural springs with free natural spa.
After full day of swimming we filled our tummies with a buffet diner at the casino and tested Chauey's luck at the tables & she won of course ...
The Airport Resort was expecting us thankfully despite it being 5.30 am. We makde our way to our family room, made a coffee and crashed out for a few hours. We woke up at midday and headed into Darwin. We enjoyed a nice lunch at Stokes Hill Wharf before walking into the city area and hiring a car. After purchasing supplies we headed back to the hotel where the children enjoyed a good swim and Rod and I sipped iced drinks on the poolside. In the evening we enjoyed a nice dinner at the hotel an...
Darwin, Australia mfroggattThis morning we are packed up and moving out of the Airport Resort. We are quite sad to leave Darwin and its spread out laid back lifestyle. I fear we have been somewhat spoilt in this resort too. We head off to pick up our Maui camper van - the newest fleets in Australia, all I can say is i'm glad we didn't get an old one!! We drove away from Darwin in our camper feeling quite down. The engine roars like a dog, the door doesn't lock properly and it is just somewhat very basic, I had had bett...

... and a lovely meal from the bistro, we chatted about the area. The evening was warm and balmy and it was wonderful to be able to sit out without feeling chilled at all. It really is tropical here. Reminds me of Singapore! Wayne and Brendan both offered advise about WA and kindly said we could call them to ask for more info if required – people are so kind in NT and WA as well it seems.
So most people would know that Darwin is the capital of Northern Territory and as mentioned ...
... unserem Match waren, fiehl ich und als ich wieder aufstehen wollte, gab es einen lauten Knall, der dem eines zerreissenden Gummibands erschreckend aehnlich war. Was jedoch noch miesser war, ich konnte nicht mehr aufstehen konnte, geschweige denn laufen. Gut dass das Cairns Hospital schreg gegenueber des Vollyballcourts liegt. (Warum nur??) (Warscheinlich bin ich nicht der erste dumme Tourie der sich in seiner Ungeschicktheit beim Beachvolleyball verletzt) Nun denn ...
Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia frechdaxxx... or so. We stayed in the Gunlom Falls campground for a couple of nights (another bad dirt road but definitely worthy). What a spot! We trekked up to the top pools each day and spent hours in the infinity pools up there admiring the views.
I saw my first live in the wild salty at Yellow Waters. I am doing bushwalks whenever I can and they have so far been pretty good in Kakadu. An art site at Nourlangie Rock was memorable, and the Ubirr Rock sunset one was ...
... a day out to the ’Crocodyllus Park’ where we saw some big bad crocs, and even got to hold a little one!
On Tuesday night, at 1:30am, we said our final goodbyes, and caught a flight from Darwin to Brisbane, Brisbane to Sydney, waited in Sydney for 10 hours and finally got a flight to Auckand where we arrived at midnight - at this stage we were tired! We stayed at an airport lodge that night and got the shuttle bus into the city centre the next morning.
