The Northern Territory is rugged, beautiful and the place that you head to in search of adventure. We’ve spent a fair bit of time exploring this amazing region, and can’t wait to head back for more. If you are chasing guides on what to do, where to go and more, you’ll find it here. Camp…
There’s a lot of Hot Springs in Australia, and finding ones that are worth a look can take a bit of time. Is the Katherine Hot Springs really worth a look? We visited a number of hot springs on our 3 month trip from Perth to the Northern Territory, and the first one was Katherine…
If you’re looking for a magic place to camp, or even visit for the day, Robin Falls is absolutely stunning. We day tripped to a lot of places in the Northern Territory where we could have camped, and didn’t. Most of the places were good enough for a day trip, but we were happy to…
One of the most popular tours you’ll do in the Northern Territory is the Yellow Water River Cruise, which leaves not far from Cooinda Lodge, in Kakadu National Park. Yellow Water Cruise Times These Kakadu cruises run year round, with the dry season being the most popular by far. The departure location is different in…
One of the better known attractions at Kakadu National Park is Gunlom Falls, and for good reason. This is an attraction that is absolutely worth the visit. Getting to Gunlom Falls Gunlom is at the southern end of Kakadu National Park, and the road in starts only a few km from the St Mary Rangers…
In terms of natural places to swim not far from Darwin, Berry Springs tops the list for most well known, and popular. It’s a beautiful ‘river’ with a couple of pools, some rope swings and lots of places to enter and exit the water. We called in on our way from Dundee Beach to Darwin…

You’ve probably heard people say skip Kakadu, and do Litchfield instead. Before we arrived at Litchfield, I really, really wanted to be able to leave the national park saying that it was terrible and you shouldn’t waste your time. I wanted to prove the naysayers wrong, and say Kakadu is so much better. You know…
Having grown up in Perth, where the only place you’d see a crocodile is at the zoo, it was very interesting to head to the Kimberley in 2015, and then the Northern Territory and Kimberley in 2018. Heading up on the first trip, I had very little idea about Crocodile safety, and was a little…
We’d planned to visit the Territory Wildlife Park when staying in Darwin; its only about 50km south in Berry Springs, and has pretty good reviews. However, an opportunity presented itself while we were staying at Dundee Beach as there really wasn’t much else for us to do, so we headed in for the day. We…
