Here now my last story about Australia.
12.09.2007 Start in Darwin and Kakadu NP
We started this day at about midday an drove straight to Kakadu NP. We staid the first night at Ubir where we had a look on the Aborigines Art Paintings and enjoyed the sunset on the wetland. The next day was quit busy. We went in the morning to Nourlangie Rock and did a 12km walk to the top and around. Very nice walk but for me actually a bit too hot. It was to this time usually about 32-35 Degree and very humid. We had after on the way to Maguk Gorge a look on the Yellow Waters. Everything was quit nice but also nothing very special.

We left on the third day already the NP just with a very nice stop at a insider place at a little waterfall. We had an other nice swim at Mataranka which is a warm spring before we went a bit further.
Devil's Marbles and Alice Springs
We Drove this day a very long distance a reached in the afternoon the Devil's Marbles. I think the name says everything about it.
We stayed this night on a rest area and drove the next day with just a couple problems to Alice springs. We had a flat tyre about 100 km before Alice. We changed the tyre and went on but then the spare tyre exploded. That's something that happens a lot here in the outback but after never something happened for about 20'000km you just don't expect it anymore. This was still not a problem, that's the reason why I have a Tyre Repair Kit which I used. We just had to stop someone cos our little compressor was broken the day before. We finally reached Alice went to Trephina Gorge east of Alice found a nice campground back in Alice and went out at night to the famous Bojangles Saloon (http://www.bossaloon.com.au/). On the end a very nice day.
17.09.2007 West Mc Donnalds Ranges
We spent this day at different places in the West Mc Donnald Ranges. We built up our tents on a nice free camping spot near Glen Hellen where we had a beautiful view around.
We did a walk in a other Gorge in this area and went on the Mereenie Loop to Tnorala (Gosse Bluff) a relict from a big meteorite impact. We drove further on to Kings Canyon where we stayed that night.
19.09.2007 Kings Canyon, Kata Tjuta and Uluru
We packed all our stuff together the next day and went for a walk at Kings Canyon. An absolute amazing place. A very nice place just to spent time and enjoy the atmosphere.
We had the rest of the day a perfect timing. We went to the Uluru resort built up our tents and drove to the Kata Tjuta which is more or less the same like Uluru just a different shape. I liked this place actually more then Uluru which we saw in the next morning at sunrise.

This was the last stage for Thibaut which left our group at the junction Uluru-Kata Tjuta. We started after that and cross on the same day the border to South Australia.

We arrived at the 23 of September Adelaide. I'm very happy that I can stay at my Friend's place. Thank you for that Tobi. I try now to sell my car and might have a look on some things like the Museum or the Zoo just to have a good and relaxed time before I'll start my long long flight home.
