It’s a WWII-era armament depot hidden in the Top End.
Rusting magazines, concrete bunkers and history slowly being reclaimed by the bush.

A short walk, a cool plunge, and the sound of water cutting through the heat. Simple, refreshing, and quietly memorable.
åNo regrets.

Old mine sites, railway history, and a pub that’s seen more than its share of stories, all tucked into the edge of the Top End.

A short stop with a long memory.

Cliff walls catching the last of the light, still water below, and stories that run far deeper than the river itself.

We joined a sunset cruise through Jawoyn Country, knowing even then that this is somewhere we’ll come back to explore properly, on foot and by paddle.

Katherine has a way of sitting quietly in the middle of things. History, hot springs, river country, and the everyday rhythm of Top End life all meet here.

It’s not flashy, but it holds everything together in its own steady way.

Quiet camps, a long walk to the waterhole, and the NT stretching out in every direction.

2025 wasn’t about ticking boxes. It was about slowing down, paying attention, and letting the road lead. A reflective look back at the places and moments that shaped our year, in the order they unfolded.

Daly Waters doesn’t rush for anyone...not even traffic.
Just another afternoon where the local cattle have right of way outside the pub.

We parked up at Mary Kathleen, the old uranium mine between Mount Isa and Cloncurry. A whole abandoned town and a huge open-cut pit, just sitting quietly in the outback.

We stopped in at the Walkabout Creek Hotel in McKinlay. THE Crocodile Dundee pub itself. Cold beer, dusty charm and that famous knife on the bar.
