  • I live in the Top End of Australia, and we got some pretty nice camping spots here. Unfortunately I don’t go camping to much because when I go camping it’s usually with a few other families which is great. The other reason is because we only go in the “winter” here which is just 18°C lol, the other half of the year is too damn hot to do anything.

    Anyways we went camping at Daly River, we got a nice spot where we all set up and we had this nice little creek just to the side, there was also some nice crabbing spots a bit to the left. The current was a little strong though so it was basically a water treadmill haha, if you got sucked down you kinda just had to drag yourself back along the bottom with a couple of conveniently placed logs.

    A short ride down from our camp-site the river opens wider surrounded by stone cliffs and this cool arch thing, you can go fishing there too, I caught a little fish. Although you can’t really go swimming here because of the risk of crocodiles. Some people do, some people don’t, depending on how brave/stupid you’re feeling, personally I didn’t because fuck that… the water is murky, I don’t know how deep it is, it looks crocodile paradise, oh yeah and don’t forget that it’s right next to a croc trap. I guess there were lots of people braver then me though because there was a rope swing on the other side of the bank from me.

    Sorry for going on that little rant I just really love camping, I could probably keep writing about it until it’s my own book but it probably doesnt matter haha. Also I have to wake up early in the morning :(
