The highlight for me though was the Mitchell Falls. Words can't really describe this place. Simply awesome.Least Favourite PlaceThe drive http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/Western-Australia/blog-317425.html Well I'm back home in Perth now. To get here is about a 78 day drive from Cairns. I broke up my trip by catching up with some friends in Alice Springs and spending a few days revisiting some of my favourite places in the Red Centre.After that is was time to hit the dirt again for the run from Yulara Ayers Rock Township back via Giles Warburton Laverton and Kalgoorlie to Perth.As before he http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/Northern-Territory/Alice-Springs/blog-316678.html Well it's been a long time since the last entry. I'm actually in Alice Springs at the moment. I was going to post all this from Cairns but there was no way I was paying the prices the internet connection providers were asking for wireless access in Cairns. 10 per hour come on it's 3 to 4 per hour everywhere else.Anyhow I've done a fair bit of travelling up here. From Cairns past Cape http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/Queensland/Cairns/Inn-The-Tropics/blog-313327.html I didn't expect to be putting in an entry at this time but I stopped in a tiny little town Croyden in the Gulf area of Queensland and surprise surprise I've got a wireless connection. I think it's coming from the pub ltsmilegtWhat can you say about the gulf country. It's cattle country. Dry dusty and every so often a bloody great river gorge or other such natural surprise. If you are e http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/Northern-Territory/blog-301337.html It's been a little while since my last entry but there hasn't exactly been many place to connect to the net either ltsmilegt.I'm in Darwin now a great small city with a really lively feel. It makes a change for time spent out bush through the Gregory NP Kakadu and Litchfield. Gregory is very remote. It took me 4 days to travel just under 300km over the tracks there. I don't think I manag http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/Northern-Territory/blog-297208.html Well I'm sitting here in Kununurra after spending nearly 4 weeks travelling from Perth up to Broome and on through the Kimberley region of WA.What can I say. It's been great fun. We've bush camped under the open stars seen awesome scenery and waterfalls been rained in for a day or so until the roads were opened again got 40mm in one night.
