More Kakadu national park than Darwin, we arrived at 5am, got a taxi to the rental office and picked up our ‘Mitzibishi Colt’ 2 person berth campervan and what a beaut she was. The park was beautiful and we saw birds, crocodiles, aboriginal art work and attended a few very well organized and interesting ranger talks, walks and events – we even had a go at painting a Barramundi and a long necked turtle in the traditional Aboriginal style. It really was a treat being able to cook for ourselves and NOT having to eat in boring restaurants anymore, bizarrely it is cheaper to eat out in Asia than cook for yourself! The huge long straight roads, the clear blue sky, red brown of the earth and fairly sparsely populated area was also quite a contrast to Asia’s denser population, hazey skies and bumpy roads. Easy access to clean toilets, food and accommodation was also a welcome relief.
