Watervallen zat hier in the Northern Territories! Zoals overal hier, moet je goed opletten waar je zwemt. Hoe uitnodigend sommige waterwegen er bij dertig graden ook mogen uitzien, als er niet expliciet staat dat zwemmen toegestaan is, doe het niet! Krokodillen kunnen er steeds op de loer liggen en zijn allesbehalve kieskeurig! In een groot…
Read morePostcard Sunsets
During our trip up North we saw some amazing sunsets. We literally saw all the colors of the rainbow! And it doesn’t matter whether the sun sets on land or in the sea, every night starts with this special moment, this turning point, where for a second your breath stocks and the whole world seems…

Na alle foto’s van onze trip tot nog toe te herbekijken, kwamen we er achter dat we helemaal vergeten waren om deze blog te posten. Het is ondertussen al enkele maanden geleden dat we in Monkey Mia waren, maar we wilden jullie deze niet onthouden! Het klinkt als een droom, maar in realiteit sta je…
Read moreKeep River, a Hidden Gem at the Border
One of the best kept secrets of Australia can be found at the border crossing of Western Australia to the Northern Territories. Why no major travel guide mentions the beautiful Keep River National Park remains a mystery to us. Besides the beautiful park, the campground is definitely worth a stay. It is really cheap ($…
Read moreBoabs: Making a Treehugger out of Tom
The Kimberly is known for its amazing abundance of boab trees (also known as Baobabs). This is without a doubt Tom’s new favorite tree. They grow enormous trunks that hold precious water, and their branches grow in a very harmonious way. In Derby, they even used one of the large trunks as a prison in…
Read moreVissen Part Three: Catfishing
Lake Argyle is not just very beautiful, it also houses way too many catfish. Which is AWESOME! As rookie fishermen, we don’t know a lot about fish and fishing, but there is one thing we know for sure: it is always amazing when they bite, no matter what kind of fish it is! The feeling…
Read moreVissen Part Two: Gearing up!
Het is nooit leuk om afscheid te nemen van medetrippers. Maar aan alle verhaaltjes komt er een einde… Als afscheidscadeau mochten we Jasmine en Nino hun vislijn adopteren. Fantastisch! Het is altijd (toch sinds het calamarivissen) mijn droom geweest om de trotse eigenares te zijn van een vislijn. Bij deze kan ik eindelijk zeggen dat…
Read moreClearance Clearwater Survival
There was only one thing that kept us awake at night the last weeks and it was whether Toni, our car, could do the creek crossings on the road to the Bungle Bungles.We know Toni is a great car, but not having a snorkel and low gears can be a problem when you have to…
Read moreBungle Bungles – Purnululu National Park
They might sound like words somebody made up, but the Bungle Bungles – originally? named Purnululu by the Aboriginals – totally exist! They’re these AWESOME “beehive/molten jaffa cake” rock structures where you can walk through. Only downside is that the 53km long road to reach them is incredibly hard and rocky, but in the end…
Read moreCaving for Tunnel Creek
Normally, whenever we’re asked “Do you like caves?”, we go “Meh…” It’s not that we don’t like them, it’s just that we’ve seen so many stalactites and -mites already that we’re sick of them. However, Tunnel Creek was really AWESOME! This cave system in the Devonian Reef was the hideout of an Aboriginal freedom fighter…
