Up north.
New experiences in the top end:
Have just returned from a week in Darwin and Kakadu National Park (Northern Territory – top end of Australia).
Fantastic place – have seen my first crocodile in the wild. On the debit side it was pretty hot and sweaty and not exactly my idea of the safest place to go for a swim. If the crocs don’t get you the sea wasps or the sharks will take you out. Now the…

After taking a few obligatory snaps I gave up and put on my m…
