That's the north part of the Northern Territories and where we've had a week travelling around three National Parks; Kakadu, Nitmiluk and Litchfield. Some lovely wetland areas and billabongs with lots of water-lilies, aboriginal rock art, rocky outcrops, gorges and rivers (we enjoyed two more boat trips) and waterfalls! It's climbed up to 35c here most days so we've not done any long walks and it's been great to cool off in some of the non-crocodile-infested rock pools in the parks. Just one ice cream was consumed here (you just want drink really) or in my case....almost consumed. N had finished his, I was about a third of the way through mine. He is always commenting about how long it takes me to eat one... when between us swoops a kite and makes off with it! That'll teach me. No photos of my face I'm afraid, it was all too flippin' quick.
We've seen a lot of bush fires. As it gets chillier overnight at the moment they stop burning by themselves. Above you can just about see all the kites hanging around for insects and animals fleeing the flames
