Going Dark in Darwin

Well, we’ve travelled all day and are in Darwin, Northern Territories via Alice Springs.    Tomorrow we head to Kakadu National Park and the native-managed ‘Arnhem Land’ for tours of the native rock art.   It doesn’t look like we’ll have any wifi for a while so no posting or response to messages.

Hey – it’s us!

As the two of us have travelled over the years we’ve tried to keep a blog going (mainly so we can remember what the heck we did!).  It’s been good fun and a great way to hold on to special memories.
