Around Australia with Mini Me

[Mad Aussie]

Another section of Edith Falls ... 'Long Waterhole' ...




Mandy and Dean enjoying the falls




Magnetic Termite Mounds, so called because they all face north/south to combat the heat




How would you like an anthill like this in your backyard??

[Mad Aussie]

Florence Falls ...




The Lost City at Litchfield. These natural rock formations look like the ancient ruins of some long passed civilization ...

[Mad Aussie]

Wangi Falls




But don't swim in here ... an all too common sign in some parts of northern Australia



Meet 'Sweetheart' ... a 5.2 metre croc that was killed because he was attacking boats at a local fishing spot

[Mad Aussie]

The trucks grow big out here ...


Mandy's office by the road. Work must go on. You can see Buddy lying at her feet in his final few days of life.


The stone frontage and side of this old Church was all that remained after Cyclone Tracy devastated Darwin many years ago.


Darwin Wave Pool




The US Hospital Ship 'Mercy' in Darwin harbour

[Mad Aussie]

Darwin was bombed several times by the Japanese during WW2 ...


Darwin is famous for the Bogan Festival called the 'Beer Can Regatta' this time of year ...


But they don't all float well ...

[Mad Aussie]

Never give up!




What's on your mind? And Yes .. .they do get big saltwater crocs in that harbour!



That's us up to date for the minute. I know they went through Kakadu next but weren't that impressed but I guess we'll some shots from there perhaps.

[Bambi]

nice pictures! Love the name 'sweetheart' for such a beast!

I love the photo of the truck pulling the trailer in the mud. Now That’s camping.

Daly Waters Pub. Cool

Cool mural on the back of someones Camper ...


Now here's an interesting shot ... at the Daly Waters Pub.


A wall of money inside the main building!


and a wall of bra's too ...


Mandy and Dean enjoy a cold one


Thongs (Jandals in New Zealand and Flip Flops in the US I think?) hang from a ceiling ...




They are relaxed out there ...

[Mad Aussie]

Thanks Bambi ... yep ... they come up with some real interesting name for the big problem crocs.

Cheers Peter ... yes the Daly Waters Pub is seriously 'Occa' which means Australian to it's core. It's a fancy way of saying Redneck really though

That 'truck' in the mud I guess was Graeme's Hilux Ute (as we call it) when he bent the chassis getting out of that mudhole.
