Travelogues Northern Territory

Today we were already on our feet 20 minutes earlier than yesterday, as announced before, so around 4 o'clock, to be on time for the sunrise at Uluru. When we arrived at the...

Yesterday Ewel didn't tell us what time we had to get up, just that he would make sure we wake up on time. Then Harry Potter's theme song started blaring at 4:20 am and I had to...

On the way to Litchfield National Park, we stopped in the former mining town of Pine Creek, which seemed like a ghost town to us. In Litchfield National Park, we hiked to several...

During the 'Day and Night Wildlife Tour', we explored the flora and fauna of the rainforest under expert guidance.

Only the early bird catches the worm or sees a crocodile. We are slowly getting used to the rhythm of life in Australia. 5:30 am is wake-up time, 6:20 am is when the bus leaves...

This must be how Reinhold Messner felt when climbing Mount Everest, like we felt when climbing Mirray-Outlook at 38 degrees. (Approximately the same steepness and distance as...

3. Only travel day, from Cairns to Darwin. Every day starts with breakfast, so does ours. With a lot, and I mean a lot of food, because we still had so much in the fridge. So we...

We have planned the following route for our campervan tour through Australia: Adelaide -> Alice Springs (Central Australia) -> Cairns -> Brisbane -> Sydney. On the...

This weekend we went to the Crocodile jumping at the Adelaide River, which is 100km away. There, we took a boat tour. The tour lasted one hour and cost $50 per person -...

The oasis at the foot of Ayers Rock

From Cairns, we decided to drive to the iconic Uluru or Ayers Rock, the landmark of Australia. For the Aboriginal people in this area, the Anangu, it is a sacred mountain. It...

17.01.20 Our first destination is Sydney. The decision was made quickly, but choosing the route was a bit more difficult! We gave up the original plan to make a stopover in...

11.10.2019 First stop at Wycliffe Well, where many UFO sightings used to happen. There were lots of alien stuff to admire there. Then drove all the way to Alice Springs. Checked...

04.-06.10.2019 We went to Kakadu National Park. Our driver Lena was on time, but Jesus from another hostel was 15 minutes late. We bought enough supplies for the two days. On...

September 2-8, 2019 My shoes have been torn for ages and I haven't managed to repair them yet. Finally, the day came and I am quite satisfied with my newly acquired sewing...

26.08.-01.09.2019 https://youtu.be/AS_RajLklVo We went back to the river nearby. But this time not just to look, but actually to swim. Afterwards, I walked along a long...

G'day Mates These past few days, we had to organize a lot, so I didn't have time to write. We needed a phone connection in Australia, and the nice Anne, a trainee at Telstra...

Although the travel guide claims that Darwin is one of the least rewarding destinations in Australia, we saw a beautiful sunset with Fish & Chips there. At Fogg Dam, we saw...

As expected, the night was a challenge. It was hot and cold, the slightly padded board was hard, and if you turned abruptly, you felt like you were at sea, rocking the camper....

Before we delve into the topic of car sales, here's a quick post about our two trips to see the crocodiles. I really wanted to go on this tour, so we even paid the $50 per person.

27.03. After a really cool night, which has never happened before in Australia, unless it rained, we spent the very hot afternoon at the campground pool. In the afternoon, we...

Wednesday 7.6.17 - a very special working day for me. My boss Ross told me that we were going on a trip to the Outback to his mate Numma and I should pack something gluten-free...

I wake up very early today. There is already a lot of activity at the campground. Our neighbors are getting ready to go for the sunrise at 5:45 am. We briefly considered going...

I have a cockroach infestation in my room. Meaning: pack everything up or put it in the fridge. Annoying.

After waking up alone in my caravan this morning, I first washed my laundry in peace, relaxed in the beautifully decorated garden, and enjoyed my delicious acquired raisin...

With the Ghan, we reached Alice Springs and set off for three hikes. In the evening, there was a BBQ at the old telegraph station.

After seeing everything we wanted in Australia's 'Red Center', we slowly made our way north. We could hardly wait to finally get to the warm.

If we are already in Australia, we thought we should also see Uluru. We decided to fly from Cairns to Alice Springs because we didn't want to drive over 2000 kilometers with a...

November 17 - North-west coast of Australia: Darwin, Kakadu NP, Edith Falls

After three weeks of searching, I finally got a job offer as a housekeeper/waitress/hostess at a 'Luxury Outback Resort' through a backpacker job agency. The 'Bamurru Plains'...
