26/7/14 - What a rough night, literally a bunch of people who had way too much too drink were yelling and making a ruckus late into the night. I'm sure it would be different every visit, sometimes very peaceful but it certainly wasn't last night. From what we saw the establishment takes your money sends … Continue reading Back onto the dirt

Darwin
23/7/14 - 24//7/14 - We liked Darwin and can see ourselves coming back here. Pretty laid back, friendly people and not overly crowded. We had several walks on the Darwin Waterfront.

Litchfield Delights

Duncan Road
17/7/14 - Now we should have paid attention to the name of the rest area we stayed at last night. The words, cliff and lookout should have set off some sort of warning in our heads. But it was getting late, dark and we needed to stop so it didn't jell. The moment we stepped … Continue reading Duncan Road
