Yet another Waterfall – Waterfall Compilation

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…

One of the best kept secrets of Australia can be found at the border crossing of Western Australia to the Northern Territories.

Vissen 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…

Bungle 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…

Caving 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…
