I crossed half of australia since I left Cairns.
From Cairns I started travelling together with my mate Serge who made it at the last minute on our plane to Darwin. "Just in time" as he says.

From darwin we went to the kakadu national park. On our croc boat cruise we even saw a croc eating another animal which looked very spectacular.

Later we drove from darwin to alice spring in a rather uncomfortable bus. On the journey we bathed in hot springs, visited the devils marbles (big round rocks laying around in the middle of nowhere). Now we've experienced "the real outback" which mainly consists of nothing. Big landscapes of dry gras, small bushes, cattle stations as huge as switzerland, small villages with a population changing from 2,3 people (wetseasen, summer) and around 12 in the dryseason (winter).

So now we are in Alice Springs and continue tomorrow to Uluru (Ayers Rock), Kings Canyon, etc.

During day the temperature is around 20 degrees celcius but during the night it falls down to 0! Brr! But nevertheless our mood is good :)

Cheers
