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 …

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 …
1st September – 12th September 2025 Litchfield is the NP of swimming holes and waterfalls, and you can swim in all of them, crocodile free. Ok, you can swim in most of them, there were a couple that had had sightings of crocs, and those swimming holes were closed. But for the most part …
15th August – 1st September 2025 Our trip to Kingaroy was a bittersweet experience. It was great to see all the family, but oh so sad was the reason. John was a big man and lived a big life. His heart was as big as the outback he loved, and his humour was twice …
6th August 2025 – 15th Aug 2025 Welcome to the Northern Territory, the Top End of Australia, the last untamed wilderness and heat! Our last 24 hrs at Camooweal saw us enjoying a daily high of 22 degrees centigrade and an overnight low of 11 degrees. Pretty much spot on for us. The following …
