December 2025 – 1 February 2026 I was going to have a bit of a “blog break” but I figured since it is predominantly our travel journal, I really do have to keep it up to date. Now, I touched briefly on Christmas and New Year with mum at the end of the last …
14th – 17th October 2025 We crossed the border from the Territory into QLD and had to have a giggle at this sign at the crossing. In case the font is too small on your screen it reads, “Welcome to Queensland. Adjust your watches ahead by 5 years and 30 Minutes.” A little bit …
9th – 14th October 2025 From Edith Falls we were backtracking towards Camooweal. First to Katherine, then Daly waters and Three ways, (the home of the world’s most expensive fuel) before once more crossing the border back into Queensland. We stayed in the same caravan park (Katherine Riverside) as last time. More than half …
4th – 9th October 2025 Pine Creek was a little disappointing on a couple of fronts. Firstly, I had been led to believe that it was a great spot for bird watching. Secondly, and more importantly, this is where Peter had his pushbike stolen. 😧 One thing at a time. To be fair, …
25th September – 4th October 2025 After six days exploring Jabiru, we headed south into the Kakadu National Park. Wanting to make the most of our Kakadu experience we picked three different campgrounds from which to explore Kakadu, the first of these was Gungurul. Even though it was classed as a campground, it really …
23rd September – 25th September 2025 Jabiru really did have a lot to do and see. About thirty five minutes form Aurora Kakadu Lodge where we were staying, and only a short drive from Cahill’s Crossing, is a place called Ubirr. If you love Aboriginal rock art, stunning scenery and glorious sunsets, Ubirr is …
23rd September – 25th September 2025 Cahill’s Crossing fords the East Alligator river and is the border crossing into Arnhem Land from Kakadu. Arnhem land is traditional land, and access is not permitted without a permit. We didn’t have a permit to cross, so why go there? Indeed, why are there three, well-appointed, viewing …
19th September – 25th September 2025 We continued our journey deeper into the Kakadu National Park, next stop Jabiru. There was a lot to do in the area, far too much for one post, so I’ve split them up. This post is all about our Yellow Waters Sunrise Cruise. Yellow Waters is part of …
14th September – 19th September 2025 Although not part of Kakadu National Park, Marrakai is part of the broader surrounding area with lots to see and do. Just over an hour’s drive from Darwin, it’s easily accessible to all. We stayed in the Corroboree Park Tavern; a lovely park and an ideal kick-off point for …
Date 12th September – 14th September 2025 On route to Kakadu National Park is Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve, a place well known for its bird life. Of course, I wanted to go there. We stayed a couple of nights in Herbert, twenty minutes from the dam. The Lorikeet Bush camp is very quaint, very …
