I must have closed my eyes eventually as it is now 5am and we are being woken up. It is still pitch black, just a hint of colour on the horizon. It is freezing outside of those swags, but inside I'm so toasty warm, I contemplate staying there forever. Unfortunately, I needed to get out of the comfort bubble, and we packed up camp and all boarded the love bus for the final push to Alice Springs. The sunrise again was spectacular. All is quiet on the bus, everyone ...

Thankfully it was a morning we had a little bit of a sleep in! I well and truly needed it today! After breakfast, we headed over to the hotel where we met a lovely old man who took us on a little journey on a cargo train on the now defunct rail line. We saw lots of wallabies and plenty of birds and termite mounds out in the morning sunshine, it was a fabulous, although rather bright and bumpy, start to the morning that did nothing for the pounding headache that w...

Our ten day tour with Wayoutback comprised 3 separate tours. The three day Kakadu and Litchfield, three day Darwin to Alice Springs and finally the three day Uluru, Kata Tjuta and Kings Canyon tour.

There was a point around here where I think the funniest thing occurred, but I am not quite sure what day it happened, so my touring buddies may have to correct me on this one. So we are driving a...

Rise before the sun after a hot and humid sleep listening to nothing but wildlife all around - absolutely amazing to fall asleep to and laying there looking out at the stars. Driving to Kakadu today! Photo by the sign. driving through I noticed it felt prehistoric and couldn't help but picturing dinosaurs and Aboriginals hunting them with spears. Very vivid images of this, the landscape looked and felt extremely old - I couldn't get the word prehistoric out of ...
