Here we are

Finally in Darwin.
Monday: We started by heading up north to Cape Tribulation. In Cape Tribualation the rainforest and the barrier reef meets.

Tuesday: We had a long, long drive to Richmond where we spent the night. We would have continued even further but we had to wait until 6am when the gas station opened. We also took a shortcut which ended up in a terrible road full of cangaroos.

Wednesday: Kept on driving through the freezing cold inland. Annoyed buy the cangaroos that just like to sit in the middle of the road waiting for cars.

Thursday: Drove from Tennant Creek to Katherine. We stopped on the way at a hot spring in Mataranka.

Friday: Arrived in Darwin in the afternoon. This time we stopped at a crocodile farm and had a close look at some huge crocodiles. The biggest ones were 5 metres and they are fat.





This is exactly how far away from home I was on Monday (Port Douglas)
