* Morning shower (a luxury) + breakfast
* Visitor centre (paid our park pass) + information gallery about fauna and flora of Kakadu National Park (needs to be freshened up).
* Went to Nourlangie region famous for its aboriginal rock art. Did 2 walks and saw great and interesting paintings on the rocks some might be older than 20 000 years old.
* After our 1st walk, we sheltered in the car during a thunderstorm and had lunch.
* Then we climbed Nawurlandja lookout. The view was breathtaking! We could miles away.
* During our 2nd rock art walk we saw more great art and got rained on, on the way back...
* Neither sleeping options in the Yellow River region pleased us (especially with the rain) so we decided to be sneeky and sleep in our car at Mirrai Lookout.

* Went to Bachelor to get info about Litchfield National Park. A lot is closed due to the wet season and recent rain.

* In the park we saw the Magnetic Termite Mounds, went to Florence Fall, Buley Rockhole (we had a swim there), Tolmer Falls, Wangi Falls and drove to Cascades but did not go on the tracks.

* Sneaked in the campground of Florence Falls and had a shower + did our dishes.
* Went to the closest free camp from Darwin, (met the Canadian&Spanish couple again).

* Tried to leave the campground early to not pay but while leaving the ranger picked up the payments nearly right in front of us.
* Parked the car in the day area of the gorge, had breakfast and we went for THE big walk.
* I stopped after an hour or so, it was planned that way, because you have to swim part of the walk and i did not want to do that. Damien kept going.
* Waited for Damien at the Gorge where I had a swim and read for a while.
* I am tired of the heat and the sun, I really need a day off. So when Damien came back I drove to Alice Springs and we checked in the YHA hostel.
* Each in different room, some the apart will do us some good.
* Had a late lunch together, I skyped my mum and then had dinner together. We finally bought our plane tickets out of Australia!
* The night was not really relaxing, there was some hard drug issues with some guest and screams so the police was involved but it took a good part of the night away.

* Drove to Alice Springs (I think I killed a bird...)
* Wandered in Alice for a while, had breakfast in a carpark looking at a field.
* Decided to leave and go straight to the MacDonnell Ranges.
* Stopped at Stanley Chasm and Ellery Creek Big Hole (really bad dirt road but gorgeous gorge and good swim).
* Finally stopped at Ormiston Gorge for the night at the campground. Damien went for a walk while I relaxed in the car.
