Mary River – Shady Camp and Corroboree Billabong
Finally, our first break since we got to Darwin to explore our new backyard! And what a backyard it is – scenic rivers and abundant wildlife, not only crocodiles, but birds, insects, wallabies, buffalos etc. We decided to head to Shady Camp at the Mary River, about 200km from where we are living in Darwin.

Yorke Peninsula
After our Tasmania trip and before heading back up north, we had a look around Yorke Peninsula in March 2025. Despite starting our trip on a long weekend finding a camp site wasn’t as hard as we expected. Port Julia bush camp is a nice spot and the camp hosts a very welcoming friendly couple. […]

Tasmania 7 – the last few days…
