Northern Territory 4WD tracks & camping

There’s some spectacular country between Kununurra and Katherine, and last time we drove through we were on a schedule, and didn’t get to stop anywhere. This time around though, we booked two nights at Keep River National Park, and I’m so glad we stopped, as its up there with the best of the Northern Territory,…

We firmly believe that the best parts of Australia are 4WD accessible, and if you’ve done the whole of Litchfield National Park, you’ll know this confirms my motto above. No, don’t get me wrong, the bitumen part of Litchfield National Park is absolutely stunning, but its even better once you get off it. There’s a…

Having been to Litchfield National Park a few years back, I wasn’t expecting anything better, or different when we visited recently, but there was one place we’d missed, and it was a huge surprise for us. Yes, the pun is intended, and this is Surprise Creek Falls at the bottom of the Reynolds River Track,…

Litchfield is a beautiful place, and after visiting in 2018, we were keen to get back again. However, when we found out the massive increase in camping fees, it left a rather sour taste in our mouth. We’d previously stayed at Florence Falls old 4WD camp for $7 a night, and this time around (6…

The Northern Territory is full of wild, amazing places and if you have a 4WD, you’ll be able to access so much more of the beautiful area. In this post, we take a look at the 4WD tracks in the Northern Territory that we’ve done, along with track difficulties, whether they’re worth doing, hints and…

One of the more popular gorges, and waterfalls to see in Kakadu National Park is Maguk, or Barramundi Falls. The walk is beautiful, the falls even nicer and its a must visit destination in the park itself. We really enjoyed our stay at Kakadu, and Maguk was one of the better attractions. Where is Maguk…

Florence Falls is one of the most popular destinations within Litchfield National Park, and one that we seriously rate. After snapping up one of the last 3 camp sites at the old Florence Falls 4WD camp, we parked the camper trailer and headed off in search of some cool water to have a dip. The…

If you’ve done any research into Kakadu National Park, chances are you’ve stumbled across photos of Ubirr; a sacred aboriginal location in the northern part of the park that will take your breath away. Where is Ubirr and how do you get there? You’ find Ubirr in the Northern Part of Kakadu National Park, about…

If kicking back in warm, fresh water sounds like fun, keep reading! While staying at Mt Bundy Station, we decided to back track and visit Douglas Hot springs (otherwise known as Tjuwaliyn), some 80km south. We took the main highway to avoid the very windy Dorat road, and arrived at the start of the gravel,…

The reason the Northern Territory got bumped to the top of our bucket list a few years ago was because of one place; Mataranka. I’d seen photos of the hot springs, and couldn’t wait to check them out. Of course, the Northern Territory has some truly unbelievable other places, and Mataranka is just icing on…

You’ve probably heard people say don’t waste your time with Kakadu National Park. It’s too expensive. You can’t swim anywhere. There’s too much driving. It’s not Kakadu, its Kaka- don’t! We’ve written a full post about that here; Kakadu National Park, but ultimately you should make your own mind up. In June 2018, we spent…

Kakadu is a massive national park about 280km east of Darwin. When we say massive, we mean it; its the largest National Park in Australia, and is home to some of the most incredible water holes, flora and fauna in the world. Kakadu has dual world heritage listing, which puts it up there with only…
