Week 6 - Summary and Photo Blog

---

This week has been very much a Top End of Australia adventure.

We were joined in Darwin by Judith (aka Mum, and Grandma). It was great to share our adventure with another person in the family for a few days.

Saturday saw us drive from Katherine to Darwin, and pick up Grandma from the airport.
Sunday was a day in Darwin - seeing the Darwin Museum, enjoying the Wave Lagoon, and finishing the night with sunset over Mindil Beach Markets.
Monday was our Litchfield National Park adventure - diving in beautiful waterfalls, and visiting the Lost City (and breaking down).
Tuesday was fixing the car in Darwin!
Wednesday - the day of jumping crocodiles, and into Kakadu with an amazing sunset from Ubirr
Thursday - we spent most of the day in Kakadu - visiting Yellow Water, and Gunlom
Friday - a day relaxing at Mataranka in the Thermal Pools

Was a fantastic week steeped in indigenous culture, natural beauty and amazing sunsets.
