Devils Delight

On our way up from Alice we passed the famous Devils Marbles, which are basically a site of flate eroded tablelands that have left giant sized red rock balls of rock. Not much else to say about them really other then it looked like the film set of jurassic park.







From there we continued driving north and briefly stopped at a really out the way crazy little aussie bar. It was decorated head to toe with underwear, passport photos, flags, badges, stubby holders etc...everything and anything you can think of.



We then stopped off at Mataranka the 'town of the Never Never', cos apparently you'll never want to leave. It wasn't hard to see why. Hidden amongst the dense palm jungle was a fab thermal pool safety bricked off from crocs and it was a real Oasis. The water was 34 degrees- lush!



We even saw 'Charlie' the buffalo star of Crocodile Dundee, which now stands proudly stuffed above a bar in the middle of nowhere.





We then headed to Darwin with a stop off in the Litchfield national park where we had a look at some magnetic termite mounds, so called because they build them pointing north to south to catch the most sun possible, we also had a swim under a waterfall which was really refreshing. Anyway, we're now in darwin and staying here for a few days to have a rest before heading to WA. Its five months today that we left the UK, so we're nearly half way round! more soon.
