Happy days!
It's getting so close now to that time of the year.
I can't wait to get back up in a chopper and see Jim Jim and Twin Falls pumping this wet season.

How's this? The middle of the school holidays and we had this all to ourselves.

This has to be one of the best starts to exploring Ubirr ever.
We got to watch this Joey, Wilkins' Rock Wallaby, having a bit brekky, while Mum and Dad were hanging off to the side.

Had a few days off, so headed back out to Kakadu. My early morning start was rewarded with nearly two hours of having Ubirr all to myself. #awayfromthecrowds #ubirr #sugarbagsafaris 🥾 🎨 🤠

It definitely pays to be careful around any body of water. Found this one just in a culvert on the side of the road, might be a mum too, was a few young ones hanging around.

Middle of the school holidays, and we have all this to ourselves. Jarrangbarnmi is definitely one of the highlights in Kakadu National Park.

I always love it when I get to show people these beautiful grasshoppers.
Alyurr or Leichhardt’s Grasshopper can usually be found in the stone country of Kakadu and Arnhem Land during the wet season. 🦗⛈#leichhardtsgrasshopper #alyurr #namarrkon #seekakadu #sugarbagsafaris 🤠

					  We are just back from the 5 day/4 night camping safari with Hamish from Sugarbag safaris 

Great itinerary which captured the highlights of the 3 National Parks .

Hamish... read more is the most super organized, efficient, and fastidious tour guide I have ever met ! His Land Cruiser vehicle is immaculate and the inner workings of his trailer etc is a lesson in experience and organization ! He is also a pretty good cook which is no mean praise from me ! Menu was varied and plentiful. Particularly enjoyed the lunches - plenty of meat, salad, cheese and bread to fill the hungriest of travelers.

Hamish also proved himself to be amazing in a crisis  - he was calm collected, super kind and knowledgeable in the most stressful situation. For this we will be forever grateful.

Hamish also impressed me in his understanding of the complex social situations in the NT and provided interesting perspectives 

His knowledge of the flora and fauna was immense and I learnt a lot of very interesting things 

Hamish is a guide of great integrity and experience and I would recommend his trips for those wanting a genuine outback experience and don’t mind getting a bit of dirt under the fingernails
