a camping trip of ridiculous proportions
Flora River Nature Park, Katherine Region, Northern Territory
We camped at Flora River Nature Park over the weekend. It is around 130km from Katherine, 90km down the Victoria Highway towards Kununarra then 40km on a reasonable gravel track to the national […]
Katherine, Northern Territory – our home
Sharni has taken a job up to the end of the year in Katherine, Northern Territory. So this is our home until then. We are in a two bedroom unit right near […]

Wycliffe Well
Wycliffe Well is just a roadhouse and caravan park on the Stuart Highway. However they have put in some effort to stand out from the rest, having a UFO theme that stems […]
Devils Marbles, Northern Territory
Quick stop to have a look at Devil’s Marbles. There’s a camp ground nearby but full of our old friends the caravaners. Spent a couple of hours walking around, then headed to […]
Daly Waters, Northern Territory
Daly Waters is a unique little town between Tennant Creek and Katherine just a few kms off the main highway. It’s a unique bush town and well worth a stop. Bustling with grey nomads […]
Whistleduck Creek, Davenport Ranges
I thought Ellery Creek Big Hole was nice. Whistleduck creek is as beautiful as Ellery Creek but with the benefits of being much more remote, the birdlife epic, the night time temperature much warmer and we were […]
Barrow Creek
Quick stop while travelling North on Stuart Highway at a pub in the Great Aussie Pub book – Barrow Creek. Typical outback pub filled with quirky bits and pieces. Time for a beer and […]
