So it's my birthday and I completely forgot as I was taken away with the nature around me - it's breathtaking, our country is just so wonderful. I cannot believe I've never seen any of this before. I've definitely been inspired to explore the entirety of this wonderful country.

Spent the morning on a gorgeous boat cruise - led by a beautiful aboriginal man whose homeland is maningrida which is where I am off to. He told us amazing stories, showed us heaps of crocs, took us onto Arnhem land and showed us how to throw a spear - he was beautiful, I hope to meet him in maningrida when he visits while I'm there.

Overwhelmed with the beautiful birthday messages - thanks guys :)

The people im traveling with spoilt me with muffins, home made cold rock and took me out and managed to tell everyone at the bar it was my bday so I got about a slab of free drinks .. Should say its my bday everyday!

Back in darwin tonight and meeting the rest of the group tomorrow x
