Arnhemland
DARWIN
What a shame... I didn't take many pictures of Darwin but that will change soon, promise! Here just a few.
WHERE WE LIVE
Ein Overflow Parkplatz neben dem Casino. Dort haben wir Dennis Auto geparkt und benutzen es als unser Haus. Geschlafen wird allerdings neben dem Auto aus Platzgruenden. Abends fuellt sich der Parkplatz mit 30 Vans oder mehr und es ist wahnsinnig schoen zusammenzusitzen und zu quatschen.
An overflow parking area beside the Casino. That is where we parked Dennis car and we are using it as our house. But we slept beside the car.. no room inside. In the evenings there are arriving 30 vans or more and it is really nice to sit together with some other people for a chat.
Yes... poor us... sleeping right at the beach, letting the wind cool us down a bit. The water is like taking a warm bath so not really refreshing. But because of the box jelly fish we can't jump in anymore anyway.
The hostel "The house next door" where we slept before in the car. On that picture we were throwing out some loggage.

TO DARWIN - What to do when you get bored
Good for the start but the nose fell down all the time.
A bit nailpolish for a change would be a good idea.
Stevey was lucky that he had to drive. We couldn't distract him to much but we thought he is a better hair model anyway.
Ich kann nur sagen: Wir haben die ganze Autofahrt geheult vor lachen.
Danke Stevey und Dennis, es war toll mit euch zu reisen!!!
Oooooh yes, they had to get patrol and of course we didn't have nailpolish remover so Dennis had to keep that for a while.
I can only say: We were laughing tears all the way to Darwin.
Thank you guys, it was great to travel with you. What an amazing time.
KIMBERLEYS
The Kimberleys... This is again an area you shouldn't miss. The landscape during the day in the starlit sky at night... Unfortunately you need a 4WD for that because you drive like on corrugated iron sheet and other hurdles.
We got forced to spend a night there with tuna out of a can. I think the reason is obvious.
BROOME
Kaum angekommen mussten wir doch zu allererst mal Krokodile sehen...
Broome is a very beautiful little town, full with all the bloody backpackers. Very good beach but for sure not a place to enjoy silence.
As soon as we arrived we had to see crocodiles at first...
Hoch motiviert, angstfrei und neugierig vor dem Eingang.
High motivated, without fear and curious in front of the entry.
Das war das letzte Mal, dass ich Ewelina gesehen hab.
That was last time I have seen Ewelina.
Die meisten dort wurden eingefangen weil sie zu nah an Menschen gelebt haben, oder verletzt waren.
The one with Ewelina was not real of course but this one here is... Good that there were fences. If there is a croc lying in the sun you have to look twice to notice it, even the big ones. Saltwatercrocs are not friendly and some backpackers who went for a swim, ignoring the warnings, never got out. We have seen the feeding (noooo, not backpackers) and you really don't want to jump in the water anymore. What beautiful prehistoric monsters.
Most of them got caught because they were living to close to people or they were injured.
Die fuehlen sich wahnsinnig schoen an, sehr weich. In dieser Farm werden Krokodile auch aufgezogen fur das Fleisch und die Haut. Immernoch besser als Wildfaenge.
They really feel nice and soft. In this farm they raise the crocs for the meat and the skin. Still better then catching them in free nature.
Nachdem wir da lebend rausgekommen sind erstmal zum Strand ins Wasser springen. Wir haben wohl doch nichts gelernt... Aber Hauptsache eine dicke Schicht Sonnencreme drauf und ein dummes Gesicht machen, vielleicht haelt das die Krokodile fern. Aber keine Sorge, da flog immer ein Wasserflugzeug rum von der Kuestenwache und haben geguckt ob da eins rumschwimmt. Voll beruhigend...
After we survived this farm we went straight to the beach to jump in the water. I guess we didn't learn our lessen... But the main thing is to put a thick layer suncreme on and make a stupid face. Maybe that holds the crocs back. But no worries, there was a plane from the coast guard and they were looking out for them. Really comforting...
