We're now swetting in Darwin. Temperature is below 40, but the humidity is deadly. The journey to get here, across The Kimberley and 'Top End', has been interesting...

We started in Broome, a nice little town, very relaxed and lots of drunk aboriginals... so when the bus driver told us that we should notgo to Kununurra due to flooding of the roads and a possibility to get stuck somewhere, we decided to risk it. In the end we were very lucky to get through all the way to Darwing without any problems. From Broome we stopped shortly at Kununurra, a niice town with really nice people who lended us a van to explore all the sights within one day.

We were the first travellers (and the only ones on the coach) to make it through to Katherine since the re opening of the Victoria river bridge - how lucky are we - however Katherine was not so idyllic, but rather a pretty dirty little town with LOTS of drunken aboriginals... the pool on backpackers and a gorge visit saved the place.
We are now in Darwin and hopefully going fishing tomorrow - town seems great... finally some civilisation.


Moonscape at sunset.


Approaching storm.
