The OZ experience begins!

My oz experience started on the 10th of Oct, i arrived in Darwin at dawn even then it was hot! so nice to be away from the humdity of singapore and thailand!

I jumped straight onto a tour to KaKado national park, after a night out with some locals who insisted on me staying for just 1 more drink, a couple of Scooners and Jager bombs later and it was midnight before i got back i intended to stay out only for 1 drink. Its never just 1 drink! Anyways with the taste of jager bomb still in my mouth i got on the bus at 5.30 to go to out to the bush!

We did some treking and checked out some dry waterfalls. On the second day we went Croc hunting on the Mary river and saw some massive crocs! mostly little FRESHY's (that fresh water crocs). We slept in tents and watched the sun set over a remote billybong. (waterhole, lake thing) I wangled a third day, I was meant to go back with another group on the second day but the guide let me stay! woohoo! We headed to litchfield national park on the third day, spent the day in and out of rock pools and waterfalls. So awesome! Even managed to get some fresh Baramundi from some guys in the pool back at the camp site, Me ad 2 aussie girls on the tour sweet talked some aussies who had been fishing that day, got free beer and fish, Good skills i say! 

After a stop over at Darwin i headed to Alice springs very early the next morning. It took 3days traveling in a mini bus with stops at Katherine Gorge and Tenant creek. From Alice sorings we headed to the red centre to check out Uluru and kings Caynon. We spent 2days in the centre, got up for sunrise at Uluru it was amazing check out the pic's. We were so lucky it was a full moon on the first night the night sky was truely brilliant, clearer sky than i'd eva seen before. Back at Alice springs for 1 night then heading to Cairns to start The east coast trip!

Till the next story of the east coast .............
