Paying money for point to point transportation is never fun, so I put up some ads to share a ride with someone going to Darwin, and found a guy who wanted to bring 2 cars from Alice Springs to Darwin. Another backpacker and me took turns driving one of these - rather ramshackle - cars, and managed to safely arrive in Darwin in one day.
I got along fine with my co-driver and upon arrival in Darwin we decided to rent a car together to spend 2 days in Litchfield NP. 2 beautiful days, one rather uncomfortable night, sharing a small 2-person tent ;-) Having had a taste of self-organised trips, I had liked to repeat the experience for Kakadu National Park. However, finding a couple of people to rent a 4x4 together, proved more time consuming than I had expected, and running out of time in Australia, I finally booked a tour (2 days, 1 night). Luckily, our great tour guide made it a fantastic experience. Very impressive views, great plunge pools, and swimming with crocodiles (only the freshwater crocs though ;-)), I could have easily stayed there a couple more days. Returning from Kakadu, I had a flight waiting for me: one way to Bali! The Aussie adventure had come to an end. In all, a very enjoyable experience, but not being able to work in Australia (at least in an official way), it wasn’t the cheapest 3 months of my trip, and I was happy to go back to superb value-for-money Asia!
