Our Australia trip

Soooooo….there was a whole story here, all typed up off-line. Bloody technology erased it all when we got internet reception, so take 2: We woke up a bit later, at around 7.45 am and had breakfast. Nossi got his Valium to prepare him for the trip and we packed up. After checking that the alternator […]

Although we liked the Lazy Lizard, we can feel the heat and want to move on. We have some business in Katherine and then want to turn West. The early sun and quick heat makes that by 8 am we’re washed and fed outside to start packing up, feeding the dogs, walking the dogs, dumping […]

At around 9 am I get the itchies, it’s getting already hot, the flies are chasing me and I want to move. Ten deep breaths and nothing changes. Marjo offers to do poop patrol and empties the cassette. Then it’s time to roll up the awning and hit the road. We have two last attractions, […]

We have been pondering. More North is more heat and the ocean north is inhabited with crocs so no relief there. So what to do. We already decided that Kakado (or Kakadu for the tourists) is Kaka-no-do for us as it would add 400 odd km with no place to stay with dogs. Also it […]

I don’t know how people live here. It’s winter and most people associate that with jumpers, beanies and even gloves. Not here. All day it is too hot to be in the bus and even outside you need water (a hot spring that is everywhere hot however here it’s refreshing, a hose or a pool). […]

What to do in a sleepy town after dark? You ask a beautiful lady and go for a swim! And then it’s my turn. Finishing off with some star gazing.

We decide to stay another day to play……. Who needs words on a beautiful day like this…… Posted from Mataranka, Northern Territory, Australia.

A pub in the morning is not the same as the pub at night and we decide that we need water. So onto Mataranka which seems to have springs, real ones. Although this piece of road is new to us, a road is a road. Granted, the vegetation has turned more bushy and less dusty, […]

Already on Toomulla Beach we saw a couple that was talking about the Daly Waters Pub, apparently an Australian icon. It’s only 240 kilometers from Renner Springs and we left before 10 so would arrive early afternoon. Before we leave Marjo shoots some of the wildlife (well, photo shoots). Then we’re on the road again. […]

Today we want to get past the known road and past Three Way where we came onto the Stuart Highway originally. Because it got a bit late yesterday we prepare to leave on time and are on the road at 8.30 am. We stop at Tennant Creek for fuel and want to go to Lake […]
