Here I Go Again

Haloooo, its me again, well who else could it be eh?

 I’m in Darwin this week which is the Northern Territories capital.  Its very nice compared to some of the towns we’ve seen on the way up, there’s some stories to tell there!  Its been an adventure travelling up the west coast and through the Norther Territory and Ive uploaded the photos see below.  On the way up we’ve swam in the sea a few times and noticed the weather getting hotter and hotter, at the moment here in Darwin its about 20 something degrees at 00:45 and in the day its up to its 40’s, all the time!  We’ve also slept in the car, avoided the sharks, sleep in the car, nearly swim with Dolphins (or at least be in the water knee deep and see them being fed), avoided stonefish (they’re really nasty!), sleep in the car, not get eaten by crocodiles that were only meters away, swim under waterfalls not get attacked by Aborigines and make it here to Darwin alive.  Aaaaaah.  All will be explained in more detail I promise.

Oh yeh, you know I said that we were going to get a flight from Darwin to Sydney?  Scrap that, all the flights are booked up to all the major cities which left us wandering if we were going to make it to the cook islands and have had to resort to getting a bus! A bus! to take us from here, to Sydney via Alice Springs and Adelaide (See route) which is 4403 kilometres and will take us 3 days (fun) meaning that we’ll get to Sydney a day before our flight giving us a few hours to take as much of Sydney in as possible.  However, because me and Jonny have worked out that it takes at least a week to suss out most of the cities we’ve sort of kinda roughly planned our next visit to Oz where we’ll cover the east coast.
