Cairns-Darwin
This 5 day trip was amaaazing thanx to my group and Toni the guid. We all became very good friends and that made the trip so memorable. We did so many things, swam in lots of lakes some of them inhabited by freshwater crocs. They are called freshies and the saltwater crocs are called salties. The main difference between them is that the freshies are usually harmless and wont do anything unless you poke them or disturb, the salties on the other hand are extremely dangerouse and will attack and can kill if you get near the water. Nb. I did NOT swim with salties ;) !!! We also did a boat tour in Nitmiluk (Katherine) Gorge and that was absolutely amazing. It is in Katherine National park and it is a river in a canyon with aboriginal paintings and beautiful rock formations. It has been extremely hot since I left Cairns, no breeze from the sea anymore but it has its charme. On our way we stayed in 4 places, Croydon, Mt Isa, Cape Crawford (Heart Break Hotel) and Katherine. Our favourite was Heart Break Hotel which was so tiny and had a real country atmosphere. We saw some interesting animals on our way, frilled lizards, goana lizards, kangaroos and wallabys and some snakes. The most memorable animals i saw were the glowing worms in Katherine, they are bioluminiscent and we found them in the grass when we were looking for ghosts in the Springvale Homested, my hand was glowing after I picked one big up ;)
We were nine in the group and we got along very well. Six of us went in the 3 day trip to Kakadu and we will be five going to Broome together, Debbie, Ann Marie, Nicole and Seamus.

Kakadu
We only had one day in Darwin before we took the Kakadu tour. Kakadu is spectacular and it was fun to see some of the places where Crocodile Dundee 1 was shot. We swam in waterfalls and creeks, saw aboriginal rock art, danced with aborigines and did a boat trip on Mary river and there we saw a lot of crocodiles, both freshies and salties, some of them very big. The aboriginies were so much fun to talk to, they danced and played for us. Me and four others were painted in aboriginie style and we danced all kinds of dances with them. Kevin was one of the aboriginies and he masters the didgeridoo, we became special friends after I played for him and we decided to make a film together about Kakadu ;) Adorable man. Unfortunately Twin falls and Jim Jim falls, the main attractions in Kakadu, were closed, Jim Jim falls closed the day our journey began. But the guid took us to other places which were amazing as well, one of them was the place where Crocodile Dundee hunted the fish in the first film, and that film is one of my favourite films so I was very glad to see and swim in that place. We also witnessed crazy thunderstorms which can only be seen in the wet season. I had a very extraordinary shower experience in Kakadu where I was acompanied with couple of hundred cockroaches, huge hairy spider, frog and a praying mantace... it was one of those very quick showers !! I also got myself cought in a monstrouse spider web hosted by the huge Golden orb spider, it was bad enough feeling the web in my face and body but when the spider herself crawled up my leg i felt a bit uncomfortable, specially since I did not know what spider it was untill afterwards. These spiders are not deadly but have very painfull bites, I was lucky and afterwards I felt sorry that I ruined her big web. Other animals we saw were wallabys, wallaroos, freshwater shrimps, freshwater snake and termites. Termites build hug castles which look like tomb stones covering large areas and we were so extremely lucky to see them in the mating season. All of a sudden the air was filled with flying termites, the newly hatched kings and queens, the day after they were all gone. They crawl in the ground two and two togher and start a new family.
