We have just arrived in Darwin and leave the bikes untouched for a couple of days to give the bikes and riders both some rest they needed desperately (especially the riders). We tried to avoid the highways as much as possible which is sometimes impossible. We enjoyed the rough camping under the stars and among the cattle. We visited Lake Argyle just over the border in Western Australia and that's as far west as we go. On the way to Darwin we met Rob van Leeuwen, a Dutch overlander on a BMW R1100GS and Eric & WIllie again. After our rest here we're slowly heading down South... toward the colder areas of this country.

Tim and Michelle were our resqueing Angels
It keeps Martin off the road
A Crocodile with a good appetite
A nightmare what supposed to be a beautiful day?
It was time to go home
On top of a Devils Marble
The start of a new day
It was if we were back on Sumatra

In Alice Springs we decided to take a short break before heading down further South. Darwin turned out to be full of cricket fans who had taken all the hotel rooms, so we had to leave after two days already. In Kakadu NP we had a good time except for witnessing a collision between two cars right in front of us. We experienced the 'laid back' mentallity of the Australian Police which especially Jeannette as an former Police Officer condemned. The long trip South was far from boring but we were happy to enjoy the comforts of civilatsation again, so we are not in a hurry to leave here.
