Darwin, Australia - Blogabond

Litchfield and Kakadoodle-do

Returning to Australia was both amazing and shocking. We walked out of the airport to a perfect tropical temperature, no sweltering heat but a great breeze and pleasing aroma. Plus, not one person was in our face trying to sell us a ride or lodging or anything else for that matter. The ease...

Kakadu & Litchfield Parks - Awesome!

Another retrospective... We arrived in Darwin, Australia intent on visiting world-famous Kakadu National Park and perhaps other surrounding parks. We hit an immediate hiccup in that it was a school holiday at the time and many Australians were on the road making a similar circuit as we were....

Broome To Darwin: Day 5

After another morning playing in Wangi Falls (oh yeah, and random as fuck, we bumped into Julien who I know from Echuca and his girlfriend Naomi who came on the Neighbours tour with me) with me and Sarah finishing the goon off, Nicki drove us to Darwin. Apart from one minor incident where I woke...

Travel Evolution - Darwin NT

Got to Darwin late on Wednesday night (25th July) and am staying at the backpackers (Melaleuca on Mitchell). Not bad for a backpackers - not the best I have stayed at but the chicks I am sharing with are really cool. Checked out the Darwin show with some pig racing, spear throwing and also...

World heritage site

We left Darwin and headed straight for Kakadu National Park. We stopped at Humpty Doo because with a name like that you have to say that you have been there. We stopped at Aurora, Kakadu for the night and we had dingoes and wallabies around our truck. During the night the dingoes were wailing...

Having a rest

We have been staying at 'Shady Glen' (would you believe the moniker) in Darwin for the past couple of days and we intend to leave Saturday for Kakadu. We are having a great time exploring Darwin and really love it. We do not like the mossies which are constantly attacking us and we have gone...

Day 17

Checked out of my wonderful, luxurious hotel after a really good night's sleep and walked down to Doctor's Gulley to watch the fish feeding, then walked back into town for several hours' window shopping. Met a really nice Australian couple with an adorable nine month old. Got back to the hotel...

Day 16

For some reason, I was up literally at the crack of dawn, probably due to my previous five days of camping. Called Tom. Went to the Smith Street mall running my errands -- drop off film, going to the bank, etc. Then I went on this "Mangroves and Mudcrabs" tour, only I was the only one! ...

Day 15 (Continued)

Checked into the Atrium Hotel, a fortune but worth it as the room has a real bathtub. After using it, Paul, Angela and I had dinner at the hotel, I did my laundry and went to sleep.
