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.

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…

The Waterfront in Darwin is één van the places to be. Hier en daar kan je wat verplichte kunst vinden. Deze gezellige inham aan het water met een tiental restaurants en bars heeft een prachtig golfslagbad… waar we nooit in gezwommen zullen hebben… Dit prachtige bad heeft zwembanden en boogieboards ter beschikking om gezellig te…
