Stillwater Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Maybe one fine day we get the chance again to travel into this beautiful land. To spend some time in Darwin and visit the market at Mindil Beach... ... walk the Esplanade and test the bars... ... before driving down Stuart Highway. My preferred tour operator suggests to turn left on Batchelor Road... ... passing the city (and airstrip) of the same name... ... on the way to Florence Falls. Remark: For this flight the season was set to "dry", not "rain". Then go "around the corner" to Wangi Falls and their pools (you can see the big one below), ... ... and, after lunch, head east past Lake Bennett. Arnhem Highway gets you to Mary River fast (probably not wise to swim there), ... ... but Old Jim Jim Road (one of the turn-rights) you could only take with a 4WD. This time we stay on the Highway and cross South Alligator River - hey, I am absolutely sure this river if free from Alligators. For good reason. Later the day you´d reach Jabiru, the main city of Kakadu NP. We go on to see the Arnhem Plateau (port side in the distance), ... ... watch the sunset from Ubirr Rock, ... ... and deviate to Oenpelli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussieflyer38 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Great shots Gerold, it's even difficult for us Aussie's, one minute the borders are open the next closed. It's a bit of a lotto if you take the gamble. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last summer we were not even allowed to travel freely in our own country, could you imagine that? Good that we have our virtual world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
