Crossed the border into the Northern Territory late in the afternoon, the speed limit on Northern Territory is 130km/h rather than the 110km/h throughout Western Australia, so enjoy speeding! By now, the weather is really really hot and humid, I think I mentioned this already, but it feel like I was in water, can't breath, and the mosquito problem got worse!!! Waves and waves of them attacked us, all night... we made one over night stop over somewhere between Kununurra and Litchfield and again at another free rest area... By then I was really really tired, the humidity had got to me really big... had few drinks after dinner, was too hot to sleep in the campervan, so tried to sleep on a bench... ended up with over 200 mosquito bites, that is when I stopped ... read more

We had decided not to go into Kakadu National Park as we had spent some time there on our previous visit, but would head for Batchelor which was fairly close to Litchfield National Park. As it was only 100 kms we were parked up by the Big 4 Caravan Park at 10.15. We’d booked a site on the internet and the receptionist was quite happy for us to move on straight away. We were very pleasantly surprised at the roominess of the site and it was surrounded by palm trees. With no expert guidance available it was left to me to help Graham reverse Sweetie ... read more

Leaving Katherine we head north on our way to the Litchfield National Park. We stop at Edith Falls on the way and check out the campground and lake. We also call in to Robin Falls. Our next stop is Adelaide River where we visit the War Cemetery, this is such a beautiful place and so well looked after. It was very moving to walk around the War Cemetery and the General Cemetery next to it and read the names of so many young men and women. Litchfield National Park was our next destination, inside the park we stopped at the magnetic termite mounds, Buley Rockhole - great spot but too crowded and Florence Falls whcih was just lovely, we had a swim here and were able to see quite a lot of fish swimming around very ... read more
