My 'little' brother is turning 50 on Monday. It feels a bit weird to me particularly because he was born on my 8th birthday. Our grandfather came up from Victoria to visit, which is the only time I ever remember seeing him. Mum had made my birthday cake, but hadn't yet iced it when she had to go to hospital....

In Darwin at Free Spirit Resort. I cannot praise the NT National Park Service highly enough, their Parks are incredible, their employees very helpful, their campsites affordable - Well Done! Sorry to hear that the gov't is considering cutting the tourism budget, I hope it doesn't apply to the Par...

This is a great spot......no facilities tho This morning there was a flock of pelicans over on the lagoon next to the roadworks sight.

Me again!!!! Sorry for being a serial pest but have a couple of days off and am trying to plan this trip. If we hire a vehicle that is not a 4WD can we travel from Darwin on the Arnhem Highway and then back on the Kakadu Highway through to Litchfield or isn't the latter a sealed road. Any suggestions of mus...

Hi all, I know there are hundreds of free camps out there and not all are covered by the Camps 6 etc books. This is a big ask, could when we post our camp site, please attach, if possible a grid reference.
