Trip to the auzzy territory

not enough australians have travelled through our own backyard! hiring a campervan and driving from alice springs to darwin was lots of fun. uluru was incredible and exceeded my expectations. you tend to just think it's a big rock in the middle of nowhere, until you get there! the sunsets, animals and landscapes we experienced were unforgettable!

We get our fill of swimming at waterfalls. We try them all. The park is pretty popular and we can't get into the main camping area at Wangi. So we stay a Litchfield Safaria camp which is not as hick as it sounds.

We, my travelmate Wilma and I, made plans together to see a lot of Australia. The country is so big that we decided to see only a few parts of it. We started in Hong Kong (stop-over), Saw Darwin, Uluru, Cape york to Cairns, Great barrier reef and drove along the coast to Brisbane.
