Woke up really early but stayed in bed til around 10am when I met H to do some washing as our clothes were absolutely filthy. Had a smoothie and waited for stuff to dry which took til past midday. We then went with K + R to the Art Museum at Fannie Bay which was free. Caught the #4 bus from Cavenagh St for 50 cents (bargain, so much cheaper than Melbourne!). The museum was great. It had heaps of Aboriginal art, a Cyclone Tracey exhibit, a natural history section, 'Sweetheart (a 5.1m stuffed croc), a maritime section with MASSIVE boats, a section about Catholic missionaries, and a scienceworks like bit. It was great but so huge it was exhausting! Afterwards we headed to Mindil Beach to grab some lunch/dinner, see the market, and watch the sunset. I was really hungry so the food was great. I bought some photos of Jim Jim Falls and a Top End Billabong, 2 magnets, and a cloth patch. H tried possum and buffalo. The sunset was amazing. There were hundreds of people sitting on the beach watching it. It was the most brilliant oranges, pinks and purples. I also had a rainbow snowcone which was very artificial but yummy. After the market we taxied back to the hostel and I just packed my stuff up and showered before heading to bed.</p>

Woke up early with a siren going off somewhere. Had a smoothie then sunbaked in the sun with R for ages before H joined us (he had arrived early in the morning on his flight).&nbsp;H &amp;&nbsp;I&nbsp;booked a tour with Wilderness 4WD Adventures for the next day ($470 + $35 camping fees) - a 3 day trip to Kakadu NP. Spent the whole day lazing around, swimming in the pool and getting chores done. H &amp; I went to Thailicious across the road for tea after having it recommended but it was a rip off at $20 for an average pad thai. Met back up with R at the hostel for drinks before hitting the sack early.</p>

<p>
Arrived in Darwin about 5pm on my Jetstar flight and took the airport shuttle to my hostel Melaleuca on Mitchell (who I later found out refund the shuttle bus cost of $9 anyway if you stay at least 3 nights). The hostel cost $28/night (with my YHA discount, despite not being a YHA hostel) and I was put in a female 4 bed dorm. My room-mates were L from England and K from Melbourne. I tried to find my friend Rose for ages but gave up and went to Mindil Beach with L and her friend C who drove us there to watch the Territory Day fireworks. They were amazing! They even had pink fireworks that exploded in the shape of hearts.&nbsp; </p>

You can only get there with their permission, which means a guided tour. The cultural aspect of the tour is not for me.<I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"> Same same</I> rock paintings, each comes with a no fun fairytale. When we go to visit an aboriginal village it’s the limit for me; it’s like I’m waking in a zoo, checking out the funny little aborigines in their natural habitat. I reckon they’ll make a viewing platform pretty soon, with fences and signs about not feeding the aborigines. White men coming over to see a destroyed society. It disgusts me, but these tours do also create a much needed income for the communities. I’m torn on the subject, and I wouldn’t know if I would recommend a tour like this… The history part is alright, as are the rock paintings I guess, but going to the village to check out people, that just doesn’t work with me.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

In the end the hero manages to save the pretty girl from the jaws of death, but pretty much everyone else dies. I delight my family by replaying scenes of that film. Unfortunately for us we’re not attacked by a giant croc (robbing me of the opportunity to save a hot babe from certain death) but the Yellow Water scenery does make up for it. The sky stunningly reflects in the water and the birds are not to shy to show. Add the sun and a cocktail and you’re in heaven, add some thirty other tourists and a noisy boat and you’re in, well, Yellow Waters.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

That afternoon we relax some more in the Katherine pools. Close enough to town a well provides water to a nicely constructed pool with different levels. It’s an A place to chill out, for tourists and locals alike. After spending a week in the Top End we have one national park left on our list; Litchfield.

<p><a href="http://www.travbuddy.com/Darwin-travel-guide-152770">Darwin, Australia></a>, Jun 17, 2008</p>
<p>
<P>Vanuit Wyndham zijn we vertrokken naar de Bungles Bungles, een National Park met een heel apart landschap. Om er te komen moesten we eerst Apollo Campers bellen om toestemming te krijgen om er te komen want het is een 4 wheel drive weg. Na toestemming zijn we gaan rijden: 250 kilometer. En wat blijkt bij aankomst: het park is al 2 dagen gesloten vanwege ontoegaanbare wegen door hevige regenval! We waren niet blij met Apollo, want nu konden we dezelfde weg weer terug. Na de nodige malen bellen met Apollo Campers om verhaal te halen zonder daar iets wijzer van te worden maar weer gaan rijden. Na dus een volle tank benzine te hebben verreden komen we aan in Kununurra, een plaatsje 100 kilometer van Wyndham. De volgende dag vertrokken richting Katherine, dat ongeveer op 300 kilometer van onze eindbestemming Darwin ligt. Na stops bij de mini-Bungles Bungles (om toch nog wat van het bijzondere landschap mee te krijgen) en bij Lake Argyle (een kunstmatig aangelegd meer om de watervoorziening te verbeteren in de droge outback), zijn we de dag uitgekomen in Timber Creek, halverwege tussen Kununurra en Katherine, wat ongeveer 600 kilometer rijden is. Timber Creek bestaat uit een Roadhouse en een camping, that's all! Ze hebben wel een zwembad, end aar hebben we dan ook lekker nog 2 uurtjes van genoten. De volgende ochtend zijn we begonnen met de camper enigszins schoon te maken na de viezigheid van de Gibb river road. Na wat socializen met andere toeristen en Australiers waren we wat later weg dan geplanned, maar toch vertrokken naar Katherine, waar we in de loop van de dag aankwamen. De middag hebben we doorgebracht met weer wat boodschappen doen en soevenirs kopen.</P>
<P>Katherine is bekend vanwege de centrale ligging in Australie, als je vanuit de outback in het zuiden komt en je wilt naar Darwin (noorden) of je rijdt van west naar oost (of andersom), dan kom je altijd langs Katherine. Daarnaast is er de Katherine gorge (kloof). Deze hebben we in de ochtend bezocht, wel spectaculair, maar je kunt er niet zwemmen, en omdat we toch al de nodige gorges gezien hebben langs de Gibb river road, besluiten we verder te rijden naar Kakadu NP. Kakadu NP is&nbsp;het grooste van Australie. De nacht hebben we doorgebracht in Pine Creek, waar Michel de volgende ochtend een boom over het hoofd zag en de achterruit van de camper eruit reed. Na het opruimen van alle scherven (maar scherven brengen geluk) en het aanbrengen van een tijdelijke artistieke ruit zijn we die ochtend laat vertrokken naar de ingang van Kakadu NP.</P>
<P>In totaal hebben we drie dagen doorgebracht in Kakadu NP, een park dat bekend is om de natuur in combinatie met de Aboriginal historie. Je hebt er vele watervallen en Aboriginal rock art. Helaas kun je bij de watervallen niet zwemmen, want hier zitten weer krokodillen ("salties"). Ook hebben we een bootcruise van 2 uur gemaakt over de Yellow River en Alligater River. Onderweg veel vogels gezien en ook weer krokodillen en genoten van een hele mooie zonsondergang. Onderweg naar Darwin zijn we verder nog gestopt bij enorm grote termietenheuvels. Aan het eind van de middag komen we aan bij de camping. Het is hier heel druk, want het is hoogseizoen, maar gelukkig hebben ze nog een plekje voor ons. Er is ook een zwembad op de camping, dus daar maken we weer gebruik van om af te koelen.</P>
<P>In Darwin zijn we naar het Crocodilys Park geweest, een krokodillen-farm, waar ze krokodillen fokken voor het leer en het vlees. Daarnaast is het ook een soort dierentuin met andere dieren. In de krokodillen-farm doen ze ook aan het voeren van de krokodillen tijdens een 1 uur durende tour. Aan het einde van de tour mag je ook nog een krokodil ("saltie") beethouden, dus dat doen we! Aan het einde van de middag zijn we naar de Mindl Beach Sunset Market gegaan, een leuke markt, waar je lekker kunt eten, shoppen en er het een en ander aan live entertainment (digeridoo) wordt gedaan. Hier hebben we ook de zonsondergang gezien.</P>
<P>De een-na-laatste huurdag van onze camper zijn we in de ochtend vroeg vertrokken vanuit Darwin naar Litchfield NP. Dit park heeft hele grote en mooie watervallen, waar je ook lekker in kunt afkoelen in de diverse pools. Onze eerste stop zijn echter weer de enorme termietenheuvels, waarna we de diverse watervallen gaan bezoeken: buley rockholes, florence falls, tolmer falls&nbsp;en de wangi falls. De buley rockholes doen we als eerste en het is er heerlijk rustig om te zwemmen. Daarna de florence falls waar we weer even lekker afkoelen. Na de lunch zijn we naar de Tolmer falls wezen kijken. Bij de wangi falls kunnen we helaas niet zwemmen, want daar is recentelijk een krokodil gezien en uit veiligheid kun je daar dus niet zwemmen. Na het zien van de wangi falls besluiten we dus lekker terug te gaan de buley rockholes, waar het dus "iets" drukker is dan in de ochtend .... Maar toch hebben we heerlijk gezwommen. Op de camping nabij de buley rock holes hebben we de laaste keer in onze camper overnacht. De volgende ochtend hebben we alles ingepakt en schoongemaakt en dat was best zweten! Dus zijn we nog even langs de buley rockholes gereden om op te frissen en zijn we daarna weer teruggereden naar Darwin (100 kilometer). Na het zoeken van een locatie voor de nacht, wat niet erg makkelijk was, alles is hier namelijk overvol doordat het hoogseizoen is, hebben we iets te laat de camper ingeleverd in Darwin.</P>
<P>Nu zitten we dus in Darwin, waar het lekker warm is en waar we morgen naar het "koude" Sydney vertrekken voor ons avontuur aan de oostkust van Australie. Wordt vervolgd!</P>
<P>Groetjes aan iedereen, Michel &amp; Jolanda.</P></p>

    We have just arrived into Darwin where we await our fight back to Brisbane for Murray and I and Cairns for Michelle which is a little sad so we decide to have a celebratory drink to ponder our fantastic holiday and to bid each other farewell.&nbsp; We ran into two local Western Australian guys who decided to celebrate with us so needless to say we did not get any sleep before our respective flights.... what a trip!!!&nbsp;

So got to Darwin by plane, not ideal, but needed to get there asap. Travelled to Darwin with Lucinda and Emer. <br />Went for a couple of beers with them in the irish bar, had to be done. <br />Did a day trip with Kakadu Dreams to Litchfield, and then 3 day trip to Kakadu with the same company.<br />Litchfield was cool, more of a waterfall trip, and ant hills. Lots of ant hills. (Sorry, correction, Termites).<br />Nightlife, ok, if a little confined to one street. Good town though. Went out with the group after the Litchfield trip.<br />Same after the Kakadu trip.<br /></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="">Nous
voila de retour à Darwin pour retrouver notre van...  Une
longue longue route nous attend (une fois de plus)... Pour la
première fois depuis le début de nos aventures
australiennes, notre moral n'est pas au beau fixe... Nous devons nous
«&nbsp;remettre&nbsp;» dans notre voyage après ces
deux semaines de «&nbsp;vacances&nbsp;».</span><b> </b><span style="">Il
faut dire que nous retrouvons le van qui a pris l'humidité...
et les odeurs qui vont avec... Mais bon, ça aussi ça
fait partie des voyages! En route....</span></p>
