Goodbye WA Hello Northern Territory

We crossed over. WA is so far the very best of Australia (on par with Tasmania but with better weather). There was a sadness as we leave behind some amazing adventures. First thing we noticed was the maximum speed for vehicles changes from 100 km/hr to 130 km/hr. Who drives that fast? Hopefully it won't be those 86 tired road trains.

Ahead of us are some of the tropical areas and renown parks such as Kakadu and Litchfield. It is all good.

Tunnel Creek**** This is a four star adventure- a 9oom cave loaded with fun and intrige. Gigantic bats and aboriginal art adorn these walls. From one end to the other you must wade waist deep through many pools. Stalactite hang like chandeliers from the ceiling as stalagmites rise from the floor to meet them. This is where the story of Jamjamara stages the final chapter. Jamjamara (an aboriginal rebel/hero) took his last breath here after being gunned down by the police. This was his hide out.

Gibb sites

A quick stop at the Ellenbrea Station uncovered the hidden treasure of the mighty Gibb. Fresh made scones served warm with cream and jam. We ate 6 .

The trail to Manning Gorge began with a swim aross a croc infested river followed by a 1 hour hike to the falls. Styrofoam boxes on either side of the river served as mini boat to transport your shoes, hats, ect while crossing. J and C in tube and I am swimming the stuff accross.

Babcock Range- Home Valley Station

This is the Home Valley Station bush camp right on the croc infested Penticost River. The sun turned the range glowing orange at sunrise and again at sun set. Stunning!
