Darwin and surrounds

Hi All,
I just thought you might find some of these photos interesting. I was aware at all times that danger was lurking behind every corner, bush and tree. The croc infested waters were scary. All my aussie mates had warned me about swimming or going in, on, or near the water. It was like the conversation I had with Amelia before I left. I was NOT about to ask the crocs if they were freshies or salties. Salties eat people. Supposedly freshies don't. No thanks. I just stayed in the boat and kept my hands and feet pulled in. I saw several crocs. They certainly look like relics from the days of the dinos. The trip to the North End included Kakadu, Katherine Gorge and Lietchfield Park. All amazing and different.


The senery here was very different from the dessert. I must say I loved the colours of the dessert. It was in the NT that we saw some amazing sites with aboriginal wall paintings and art on the rocks. The 32 degree heat was a lot warmer than the 6 degree daytime temp of Alice Aprings.





Jenn and I really enjoyed our hikes through the national parks in the top end.

I will see if I can find more pics.
G'Day eh.
