• Day 1: Travel 90mins down the Stuart Highway to Adelaide River
On the way stop at Adelaide River and visit the Adelaide River Railway Station and Adelaide River War Cemetery to learn about the local history.
Then back up the highway 15min and turn off to Litchfield National Park Spend the next two days following the Litchfield Loop tourism drive. On arrival in the park explore Wangi Falls and enjoy an easy walk around the falls. For the energetic, travel to Tolmer Falls for a bush trek.

• Day 3: Darwin to Adelaide River - Crocodile Cruises
Travel from Darwin down the Stuart highway and turn left around 45klm down and travel along the Arnhem Highway till you reach the Fogg Dam Sign and turn left to the Harry Bowmans - Adelaide River Crocodile cruise.
Some 6klm down the turnoff from the Arnhem Highway is Fogg Dam but if you continued on and followed the hand made signs the road goes on for another 10 odd klms (or so it seemed) to a dead end.
From there turn right and the jumping crocodile cruise is located on their private stretch of the Adelaide River at the end of Fogg Dam Road.
All in all it was about 75 minutes since you leave Darwin. I then followed to the right on a dirt track form some 5klm to Harry Bowmans - Adelaide River Crocodile cruise.

Australia 4 Wheel Drive RentalsWhy Travel Around Australia
Our senses of sight and sound are flooded every day by film and TV. Though if you take a real holiday especially along the coast or the great Australian outback then your other senses of smell and touch will come alive as well. Let a Darwin sunset on Mindil Beach warm up your senses to smelling the pristine outback wilderness of the remote outback Kimberley. When you travel in Australia folks don't just gaze but look and you will see amazing Australian flora and fauna. If you're a family, couple or friends you will create memories most likely from the small things that you experience on the trip such as a butterfly sitting on your cup of tea whilst you're at a roadside stop on the Banks of the Ord River.
We see and hear every day travel is a experience actually it's an achievement - like to catch sunset at very minute the sun touch the oceans horizon from the viewing points along the Great Ocean Road.
Plan your holiday so you travel like never before and interact with fellow like minded adventure travellers, the locals and their cultures.
Catch a fish then both of you take a selfie and give your finned friend a new lease on life and throw it back.
Taste real fusion Aussie/Asian cuisine or just great fish and chips the Aussie way.
If Marg and Rob have to have a motto then it would be 'plan well, travel at your own leisure and enjoy the little things Australia has to offer you'.
