When you drive in the NT, you see a lot of termite mounds dressed up. Sometimes it even looks like there is someone standing in the bush, but don’t be mistaken: it’s just a dressed up termite mound! Obviously we HAD to do that as well! So after Tom’s AWESOME birthday party yesterday (we were…

From the first time we set foot in this AWESOME pub on Halloween 2015, we knew this is a great place to party. So when Tom told me that he wanted to celebrate his 30th birthday over here, I knew it was going to be legendary. Just one problem: it is so remote… Friends coming…

Zoals jullie ondertussen reeds weten, zijn er twee verschillende soorten krokodillen in Australië: de “brave” zoetwaterkrokodil en de “mmm-ik-lust-alle-soorten-vlees”- zoutwaterkrokodil.

A must-do in the Northern Territories is a visit to the wetlands with their crocodiles. On the Spectacular Crocodile Jumping Tour you’ll see these AWESOME reptiles up close. We had some amazing tête à têtes with them! Exciting, but also terrifying if you see what they do for “just a piece of meat”. Imagine what…

Litchfield national park is definitely one of our favourite’s. We go camping there in the weekends. It is just a 1.5 hour drive from Darwin, has some beautiful waterfalls and is the home of some really special termite mounds. And once in a while you see something extra AWESOME! As monks apparently do take breaks,…

Up till now, we hadn’t really found a place in Australia where we really thought “we could live here”. However, with Darwin, it was love at first sight. At least in the dry season, this is an awesome place to live. The weather is amazing, there’s plenty to do, you have the AWESOME food at…
