1 - 22 April 2004

	1 April 2004 Kite Surfers at sunset, Cable Beach.
	2 April 2004 Yup - it's like this every day on Cable Beach. Erm... at last the two days I was here!
	2 April 2004 Even after the sun is gone, the view's still pretty impressive. I recall sitting watching this, having a beer and eating a couple of real nice tuna steaks. Hmmmmmmm.
	4 April 2004 Sunrise somewhere in WA, after the first night of bushcamping.

4 April 2004 Walking through caves somewhere close to Pinnacle Creek, we came across this valley.
	4 April 2004 Bushwalking close to Pinnacle Creek, this is the view from atop a cave system that we treked through, then climbed above.
	4 April 2004 Follow the guide? Down this creek? Nah - I don't think so. The other guys we see here obviously didn't feel the same way.
	4 April 2004 Collecting firewood, off road somewhere in WA.
	4 April 2004 Bush camp, second night here at Mary Pool.
	4 April 2004 Another beautiful sunset in the bush.
	5 April 2004 Another beautiful sunrise in the bush.
	5 April 2004 Caroline pool is another nice swimming hole. These were frequently visited due to the lack of showers on this trip. Actually, this was one of the dirtiest places we swam, there was sadly a lot of litter around here apparantly left by the locals.
	5 April 2004 It's exactly what it says on the tin... an old stone hut. Located way out in the bush some way from Halls Creek.
	5 April 2004 Sawpit gorge has a rather nice swimming hole - where we relaxed before lunch today.
	5 April 2004 Palm Springs is a small swimming hole in the bush somewhere close to Halls Creek.
	5 April 2004 China Wall, in the bush close to Halls Creek, isn't really a wall at all. This is a layer of quartz protruding from softer sedimentary rock.
	5 April 2004 Feral Rob and a real life, outback snake of the Black Headed Python variety. Spotted someway down the road whilst we were collecting firewood this evening. NB: Don't pick up moving sticks!
	6 April 2004 Water running under this roadway creates a rather nice swirling and girgling spa effect. Given the lack of showers around here (like - we hadn't seen one since leaving Broome) this was welcome, as was the wilderness wash Rob had to hand. This was actually located near our campsite of the previous night, at Leycesteos.
	6 April 2004 As well as the more famous 'behives' here at Bungle Bungle National Park, there are a number of huge canyons.
	6 April 2004 The famouse 'behives' of Bungle Bungle National Park.
	6 April 2004 More interesting rock formations in Bungle Bungle National Park.

6 April 2004 The view West from Five River Lookout, located close to Wyndham in WA.

6 April 2004 The view East from Five River Lookout, located close to Wyndham in WA.
	6 April 2004 Bushwalking in the gorge known as The Grotto, close to Wyndham, WA.
	6 April 2004 The pool at a gorge known as The Grotto. There's a rather cool rope swing here that has an arch a metre of two above the water - great fun.
	7 April 2004 Sunrise just off the Gibb River Road, Kimblery, WA.
	7 April 2004 Sunrise (but looking west) just off the Gibb River Road, Kimblery, WA.
	7 April 2004 The very impressive waterfall here at Emma Gorge. The water here was pretty cold though, but the setting awsome - shame I just don't have a wide enough angle lense to get the rest of the sheer walls that surrounded this pool.
	7 April 2004 Silly photo pose #1 Note to RTA: Nope, we didn't change the sign, just picked various phrases out of the box of spares then replaced them.
	7 April 2004 Hmmmm... so remind us why the Ivanhoe crossing was closed again? Raging water covering the road.

7 April 2004 We can clearly see from this shot why Mirima National Park (close to Kununurra) earns it's name of the mini Bungle Bungles.

7 April 2004 Overlooking a tiny portion of Lake Argyl from the lookout close to town.
	8 April 2004 Swimming and jumping into Lake Argyl from around 6.5m. Rob is in full flight here, and don't worry, in no danger as the lake is apparantly 40m plus depth here. Sadly my watch was lost seconds after this picture was taken and will be ticking away nicly on the bottom for another 10 years. Yup - it just had a new battery fitted
	8 April 2004 Relaxing on a boat while cruising Lake Argyl.
	8 April 2004 Lake Argyl - the largest perminant lake in Australia. Even on a half day trip we still only get to see a tiny percentage of it.
	8 April 2004 Erm... a large tree near our camp this evening.
	1 April 2004 Arty sunset shot?
	9 April 2004 Damn! Those tourists get everywhere!

9 April 2004 Nice panorama from close to the top of the escarpment walk at Gregory National Park.
	10 April 2004 Feral Rob (our guide) and Katerine (hostie) in a very patriotic mood.
	10 April 2004 Lake Leilyn, within Nitmiluk National Park. The falls (Edith Falls) on the other side of this lake are larger than they look, and the amount of water flowing from them through the lake made for a real strong current.
	11 April 2004 Moline Falls and the small swimming hole they drop into. This is actually just outside Kakadu National Park.
	11 April 2004 Rob standing at the top of Gunlom falls. See the pool just visible below? That's where the other picture of Gunlom on this site was taken from? And yeah - slipping over here wouldn't have been a smart move
	11 April 2004 Gunlom Falls in Kakadu NP. Luckily this spot was only opened days before we arrived here.
	11 April 2004 A 'cold' bushfire in Kakadu NP.
	11 April 2004 Sunset over Jim Jim Creek, Kakadu NP.
	11 April 2004 Jim Jim Creek at dusk, here in Kakadu NP.

12 April 2004 A top view is to be had from the top of this rock formation at Ubirr, within Kakadu NP.
	12 April 2004 Orrrr.... pretty.
	12 April 2004 Driving in Kakadu at this time of year often involves a little river crossing.
	12 April 2004 The Mamukala wetlands (Kakadu NP) are famous for thier bird life. Erm... not at the end of the wet season though. Come back in a few months when this is the only water to be had for miles around and I'm told it's a totally different story.
	12 April 2004 A dragonfly posing nicely at Mamukala, in Kakadu NP.
	12 April 2004 Crocs really can jump you know!
	13 April 2004 Canoeing down the first of the Katherine Gorges.
	13 April 2004 Another small, but very nice swimming spot. This is the Southern Rockhole at the end of the first Katherine Gorge.
	13 April 2004 Rob paddling away in Katherine Gorge.
	14 April 2004 Rob enjoys a pint at the famous outback pub, here at Daly Waters.
	14 April 2004 The famous outback pub, here at Daly Waters.
	14 April 2004 I'm sure it's not really called a windmill, but you know what a mean. Located by our camp at Juno Horseback Center, NT.
	15 April 2004 Typical tourise shot, sorry!

15 April 2004 Panoramic view from within the Devils Marbles.
	15 April 2004 Oops! Don't ask - I don't think you really want to know!
	16 April 2004 Sunset from Anzac Hill, here in Alice Springs.
	18 April 2004 Mt Conner is a huge monolith (erm... I think) formed when a layer of harder rock was deposited on some softer stuff, that was therefore protected from errosion when the rest of the land around was washed away. Erm... or something like that.
	18 April 2004 Up close and personal with Ularu on the base walk.
	18 April 2004 Part of Ularu at dusk.
	18 April 2004 Rob enjoys a Champagne sunset at Ularu... sans glass (oops).
	18 April 2004 Ularu at sunset (the sun is behind us of course!).
	19 April 2004 Ularu at sunrise.
	19 April 2004 Kata Tjuta (aka The Olgas) at sunrise.

19 April 2004 Kata Tjuta (aka The Olgas). Damn impressive - more so than Ularu I reckon.
	19 April 2004 View from a lookout whilst walking round Kata Tjuta.
	20 April 2004 A ghost gum in Kings Canyon.
	20 April 2004 Rob trying hard not to look worried whilst posing at the edge of a 100m cliff. Oh, minus sunnies - that's why I look this way really
	20 April 2004 Apparantly the 'boys' from the Priscilla movie (you know the one I mean) took up this pose, so silly tourist tradition dictates we do the same. Luckily this also gives you an idea of the huge scale of this place - again, we're standing by the edge of a 100m plus cliff.
	20 April 2004 Wild horses at dusk by the Finke River, which happens to be the oldest river in the world, and the site of our camp this evening.
	21 April 2004 Palm Valley, close to the Finke River. Very nice.

21 April 2004 Palm Valley panorama - not much else to say really.

22 April 2004 The entrance to Glen Helen Gorge at sunrise.
	22 April 2004 Ormiston Pound... an area surrounded by mountains - so obviously taken from just outside.
	22 April 2004 Sandy river bed inside Ormiston Pound.
	22 April 2004 The beautiful Ormiston Gorge.
	22 April 2004 Ochre is used by Aboriginal artists in traditional painting. Here we see a pit where several colours can be found.
	22 April 2004 Ellery Creek Big Hole is... erm... a big swimming hole at Ellery Creek. The sun is hot, the water cold, brrrrr!
