Hey everyone, I know it's been a while since I made an entry but I’ve been so busy with work right up to leaving the Malpass. I left on the 3rd of August on the bus up to Cairns. Spent a couple of days in the city, Did a sky dive on Monday morning a couple more bungy jumps in the afternoon. Hired a wicked van & set of Monday night to Darwin. The first stop was the Blue Healer, a pub on the highway that’s supposed to be pretty famous. Had a quick beer & signed the walls for prosperity. Next stop was McKinley which is home to the famous pub from the Crocodile Dundee films, "The Walkabout creek hotel", had heard about it ages ago and decided I had to pay it a visit. Next we went on to mount ISA. Met up with a my friend Aimee and also took in a rodeo. Apparently its the biggest one in the southern hemisphere. Shortly after we entered Northern Territory so decided to have a picture with the sign on the border between NT & Queensland. Did a fair bit of camping in the outback as they really is nothing
The Walkabout Creek Hotel
The Pub from the Crocodile Dundee Films around for hundreds on kilometers. Next we took in a few national parks including, Mataranka, Bitter Springs, Katherine Gorge, Litchfield and Kakadu. Finally got to Darwin and met up with Mo and Jan from the Malpass. Went to Crocosaurus cove and saw some pretty big specimens. Finally spent a few days at the beach and site seeing round Darwin before we flew to Sydney. Here are some of the pictures of the trip.
Love to all
