Celebrate - Day trips to Litchfield and Kakadu National Parks



Our time in Darwin has been limited to less than a week but we have made the most of it. Peter's trips have included a day tour to Litchfield National park where we toured through dramatic scenery, wandered around giant termite mounds and walked to even more waterfalls- a continuing theme on the rally. We even went for a swim at the foot of Florence Falls. The tour was warned off swimming at Wangi falls as a few days earlier a tourist had been 'scratched' (in the words of the tour guide) by a fresh water croc.

Another trip with kiwi friends Paula and Tony took Peter on a boat trip around the Corroboree Billabong where we saw all sorts of water lilies and birdlife including a Jacana . At one point we got very close to both salt water crocodiles (saltys) and the less aggressive fresh water variety. the trip continued on to Kakadu National Park and Ubirr to see many fine examples of Aboriginal rock art and enjoy stunning views across the Kakadu wetlands. On our return we dropped into another famous landmark the Humpty Doo Pub, good beer, and lots of action, well it was Saturday night but fortunately we left before it go too exciting.

Other trips for Peter included a walk around the Darwin Military Museum on East Point and the Mindil beach night market-great street food, entertainers, craft market and a beautiful sunset thrown in.

Charlie and Cathy took a trip to Alice Springs and more about that later.

We are very grateful to Paula for making us all so welcome in her adopted city, introducing us to Tony and Diane and showing us the best Greek Restaurant in town.
