As a few of you know already, I recently spent 12 days up NT on bit of a holiday. We had a fabulous time and saw some beautiful sights.
We had 5 days in Darwin, then hired a car and drove to Kakadu, then onto Katherine and Litchfield Park, ending up a Darwin for another 2 days.
Some of my highlights would be Ubirr Rock at Kakadu - beautiful climb up (tho bit hairy in parts) past aboriginal rock art, then to witness a panoramic sunset!! Also the sunrise cruise at Yellow Water - gorg sunrise and a massive amount of birdlife!! Had a helicoptor ride over Katherine Gorge (actually about 13 gorges), then a cruise up through 2 of them. Stunning rock and water scenes. Onto Litchfield Park for soem pretty waterfalls, and finishing with another of my highlights, which was the magnetic termit mounds. These look amazing and reminded me of Carnac in NW France which has 3000 yr old burial aligned burial stones.
Nice to be home, away from the heat up there though.
