I know a lot of people say kakadont but I'm looking forward to it and will find out for myself. I know it's expensive and we will also go to Litchfield but what I was wondering is: On the gps is says only maybe 2 1/2 hours from Pine Creek to Jabiru. And it says it's a sealed road. I know it will probably take bit...
