A 4 Day Itinerary on Kangaroo Island
Bobby grew up on Kangaroo Island in South Australia, affectionately called KI by locals. KI is the 3rd largest island in Australia, after Tasmania and lesser-known Melville Island (north of Darwin in the Northern Territory). The island is a popular tourist destination, and it's come back nicely from the devastating bush fires of 2020 (scroll to the bottom for more about this). Remarkable Rocks with burnt trees and a new boardwalk installed after the 2020 bush fires (photo 202

Groote Eylandt Lodge - Exploring Arnhem Land
Last October we had the opportunity to visit a place in Australia that is very special to Bobby. He was born in Darwin and spent the first 4 years of his life on Groote Eylandt, which few people have heard of. We stayed at the Groote Eylandt Lodge, which was absolutely stunning. Groote Eylandt - Dutch for "Big Island" Groote Eylandt is the fourth-largest island in Australia, named by the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman in 1644. Part of the Northern Territory, Groote Eylandt lies 6

Chasing Waterfalls in Litchfield National Park
After spending 3 days exploring Kakadu, we continued on to chasing waterfalls in Litchfield National Park. It was hot and humid, so we spent most of our time in the water! There are many options for waterfall swims, from short drives off the main road to hours-long 4WDing excursions. Florence Falls The campground at Florence Falls had spacious camp sites, plenty big for our rig plus a campervan. It's first come, first served, with a pay envelope station in the centre. There i

Driving from Alice Springs to Darwin
Driving from Alice Springs to Darwin is long, dry, and hot, but there are some great stopping points along the way! Break up the trek with these national parks, hot springs, and historic spots. Alice Springs There is no free or cheap camping near Alice, unless you camp at one of the rest stops which are quite loud as they are right next to the road. The best free camping spot we found was Redbank Waterhole about an hour south of Alice, but the road in was quite rough. We were

Camping in the MacDonnell Ranges
After waiting out some rain in Alice Springs, we were searching for some good hiking and camping in the Red Centre. We had a few days to kill until our friends arrived to explore Uluru with us. With a little research we discovered Tjoritja/West MacDonnell National Park and decided to go camping and hiking off-grid for a few days. There are currently no amenities out this way, so be sure if you're camping in the MacDonnell Ranges that you have plenty of drinking water, food, a
