Darwin wouldn't be the same without its truly spectacular mangroves that cover a big part of the coast line here up north.
These truly unique , but so important trees are a heaven when it comes to photography. Here it almost looks like the trees are tip toeing out of the water. And all I was waiting for was to see one of the mighty salt water crocodiles roam the Mangroves. by: dieterberghmans Views[1762]

Darwin's foreshore is partially covered by the most amazing and colorful rock formations you can imagine. It just adds to the colors of the ocean and the skies experienced here in the top end.
But when I took this photo of a rock pool within the rock formation , I realised that the reflection made these amazing figures within the photo.
This photo is a challenge and you can get lost in it.
But first just look into it, then look even deeper into it....look for the faces.
Then turn your head left and look at the faces that way.
Then turn your head and look for the perfectly reflected kangaroo and other faces created by the rocks.
It is almost like a totem pole with many stories told on it. by: dieterberghmans Views[1019]

Darwin's Nightcliff jetty is the attraction for all the locals, every day of the year . It is the jetty that the people flock to, the place they bring their chairs and tables to, all to enjoy the views, the tropical feel, to eat their fish and chips or to watch the spectacular lightning storms that brighten up the skies during the Build up and wet season.
Just walking past the jetty around sunset, makes you feel like you really get the feel of what Darwin and its people are all about! by: dieterberghmans Views[2281]

Australia Round 2

AUSTRALIA | Tue, 2 Jul 2013 | By mizzsunshine2 | Views [340]

Rather an interesting start just getting to Aus this time around. It was good and bad but just different. I was not worried about spending money for a start. Still have to be careful but I am going to enjoy myself and not worry so much. More to come.... Read more >

Observations of Aboriginals

AUSTRALIA | Tue, 9 Nov 2010 | By lauren_watson | Views [2184] | Comments [5]

I decided that my last meal in Darwin was going to be fish and chips. I hadn’t had any in awhile and I was craving it (and the price was right too!) I went to an outdoor take away place where they served me 3 massive pieces of mackerel on heaps of fries.... Read more >

Halloween in the Outback

AUSTRALIA | Wed, 3 Nov 2010 | By lauren_watson | Views [1952] | Comments [1]

Today I celebrated Halloween at the top end of Australia - Kakadu National Park to be exact. It’s the first time on my trip that I have somewhat missed home. It just doesn’t quite feel like Halloween here - with temperatures in the 90’s and no fall ... Read more >

A LOAD OF CROC

AUSTRALIA | Thu, 29 Apr 2010 | By vantastic_nt | Views [1674] | Comments [2]

Perfectly evolved. This is how the saltwater crocodile has been described to us. A mean, intimidating, snaggle-toothed killing machine that’s older than the dinosaurs. That could compete with the dinosaurs for territory, even. ... Read more >

AUSTRALIA | Wed, 31 Dec 2008 | By ryanandjo | Views [1737]

We're off ....... or are we? There is some debate between us to whether our journey has actually started, as we're still in Australia and it doesn't feel like the start of a 18 month trip, so we'll let you decide if this is the first travel entry of ... Read more >

Alice Springs to 'The Top End'

AUSTRALIA | Tue, 3 Jun 2008 | By george | Views [4725] | Comments [2]

I had five days in Alice, and apart from catching up on sleep, reading and putting pictures onto iStock, I joined Chris and Dave (from the tour up from Adelaide) for meals and a couple of cinema visits. Alice seemed a bit of a strange place. One ... Read more >
