Blogs from Devils Marbles, Northern Territory, Australia, Oceania - page 3

We made our way from The Creek to Alice stopping of at the Devils marbles where we had a great time running all over them and finding caves and cracks that some of us could fit through and some of us couldn’t. We had and over night road side stop with the Lemos and met some new friends around the campfire. ... read more

Drive form Tennants Creek, wake up after a great sleep in the swag which is basically a rolled out sleeping bag, your head is exposed so a dingo could come and bite the head of you if it want to, falling asleep looking up at the stars is just class. Leave Tennants Creek and head for Alice Spring, stopping at the Devils Marbles on the way and also Wycliffe which is UFO centre of Oz - the most sightings of UFO's have been reported here-bit of a tourist scam really. Stopped at Aileron on the way which was weird as when we stopped there were birds just falling from the sky dying - it turned out they were been poisoned as they pick Kangaroo's eyes out and kill them. Arrive in Alice Springs after roughly a ... read more

Hello and welcome to one of my more exciting blogs.. although, be prepared as I introduce you to scary wolf creek men, dead kangaroos, cyclones and billions of flies!! …Here goes the outback..! Now, how on earth did we get involved on this crazy journey across Australia I hear you ask??! Well, that’s the joy of traveling with an open mind and without a plan!! I met the boys, Oscar (Sweedish), Matteo and Lorenzo (Italian), a couple of months ago back in Byron, they were friends with one of our housemates and they rocked up to our house in a big red jeep and slept in tents in our garden! On that first night we all went out and I randomly (and maybe slightly drunkenly) arranged for me and gem to drive through the outback with ... read more

We've also done a walk through the Western McDonnell Ranges to Stanley Chasm. Devils Marbles are in the middle of nowhere, its wierd to see places like that and Ayres Rock because they seem to have come from nowhere, they're just there. We stopped at a place called Banka Banka, it was just a campsite but the stars were amazing, we had a really good fire and marshmellows. ... read more

Hi everyone! So the blogs aren't as frequent now hey! This ones abit late but with all the moving about i've been doing it hard to update often........................... So at this point we are in Alice Springs........ the campervan has been returned so we are car-less and clueless!!!!! We have no idea where to go next or when. There is not that much to do in Alice Springs and there are plenty of Aboriginals about who I must say intimidate me slightly!!!! They just stand there in the street and shout!!!! And they smell!!!! So after a group discussion the plan was to head north to Darwin as near there (bearing in mind near in Oz is 3-4hr drive!!!) was a beautiful "must see" National Park called Kakadu. We rented a car- "the Baked Bean".............................. the ... read more
