Northern Territory Travel Blogs

Background: Aboriginal settlers arrived on the continent from Southeast Asia about 40,000 years before the first Europeans began exploration in the 17th century. No formal territorial claims were made until 1770, when Capt. James COOK took possession in the name of Great Britain. Six colonies were created in the late 18th and 19th centuries; they federated and became the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901. The new country took advantage of its natural resources to rapidly develop its agricultural and manufacturing industries and to make a major contribution to the British effort in World Wars I and II. In recent decades, Australia has transformed itself into an internationally competitive, advanced market economy. It boasted one of the OECD's fastest growing economies during the 1990's, a performance due in large part to economic reforms adopted in the 1980's. Long-term concerns include pollution, particularly depletion of the ozone layer, and management and conservation of coastal areas, especially the Great Barrier Reef.

Rob was not in a good way when he woke up but he felt a bit better after some food and drink. Spent most of the day on internet getting this up to date ;) On returning to our room which yesterday seemed so luxurious we realised it had damp :-0 and the whole of the back wall had water running running down it and it smelt of off bananas! Made sure I informed them of this in their feedback form! Had an earlyish night as we had to get up about 4am for our Sydney flight! [View Full Entry]

Well today we drove 505km, it was a loong drive but I found reading 'The Beach' and doing sudoku really helped speed it up. Nothing much happened apart from we saw a burnt out car and wallabies kept trying to commit suicide by diving in front of Samantha. When we got to Katherine a storm was a brewing and it was chucking it down. We realised we didn't even know which time zone we were in, luckily my ipod helped us out and it was an 1hr 30mins later than we thought it was hahah. Spent evening writing, reading and listening [View Full Entry]

Hello, It's another morning here. Downside of adventure travel is that you have to get up early to check out before 10am and you have to think ahead, which isn't my best quality. I've also noticed that I am having my ups and downs. A part of me wants to go home, and another part of me is trying to keep up the good thoughts. I am surrounded by people who are not really my type. Most are very young and still into that " I want to get drunk only" mode. I am going to be bored today, because I [View Full Entry]

Okay, now I didn't want to get online, because of the costs but since I have to check in online for my flight, I might as well add a blog on here. There are a few things that I need to get off my chest so here it comes (I'll start with the bad stuff). I'm stuck in a room with three guys, I came in late after the sounds of silence so I couldn't see a thing. My flashlight was somewhere in my bag, and it was too difficult to find it. Luckily I had put my PJ somewhere on [View Full Entry]

Wow, so here I am at Ayers Rock Resort...I had an excellent flight, I seem to be in luck with my seats, because so far I haven't had anyone sitting right next to me. The Internet here is more expensive 1 AUD for every 6 minutes. I have to see how I can book a flight back, since there is no printer attached to this computer. It may be a hickup, but I'm sure I'll figure it out somehow. I've decided to this incredible expensive tour of which I felt I can't miss out. I will be doing the Sounds of [View Full Entry]

From Melbourne I travelled overnight to Adelaide where I had a one night stop over before heading into the outback. I'd managed to book a very cheap flight from Adelaide to Alice Springs a few weeks earlier - only 48 Aus dollars. It was noticeably hotter in Adelaide than in either Sydney or Melbourne and then the heat in Alice Springs was just another level, it was like standing in an oven. From Alice Springs I'd booked myself on a 3 day trip which would visit a few different places in the centre of outback including Uluru (aka Ayer's rock), Kata [View Full Entry]

Sleeping in swags in the bright red soft dust at the Yulara campsite was definitely our most comfortable night so it seemed cruel that it was also our earliest morning. At 4am we woke up and blearily threw some clothes on, rolled up our swags and climbed into the bruck for the drive to the viewing platform between Uluru and Kata Tjuta. We arrived as the sky was starting to get light and grabbed a spot to watch the sunrise over Uluru on our right hand side and Kata Tjuta on our left. Kata Tjuta, also known as The Olgas, is [View Full Entry]

On day six we were up early as we had another day with lots of kilometres to cover. The morning was spent dozing in the bruck, stopping occasionally to refuel and stretch our legs before we stopped at a service station for some lunch. There was a nice patch of grass under some trees for us to sit while we munched away on our sandwiches. The service station was also home to a variety of bush animals that had been rescued from the wild after various accidents or misfortune. In an enclosure a orphaned and blind baby kangaroo shared his home [View Full Entry]
