journalist his home in the first film. We stayed a few days and saw lots of wading birds, parrots, kingfishers and salt water crocodiles. Since the crocodiles are really very dangerous, signs everywhere warned us away from the water's edge. Apparently, they are very aggressive and love to have a sustaining meal of human flesh. After Yellow Water, we also wanted to visit the famous Twin Falls and Jim Jim Falls, both situated in narrow gorges with abundant vegetation. Both waterfalls are accessible only by 4x4 tracks and include a rather deep water crossing. Though the ford should be smooth, the rangers told us it's about three feet deep and we didn't know how deep we could go without getting water into critical areas of the car. After all, in the Defender, the battery is located under the seat and our storage boxes with food are even lower. Our fears proved unfounded; even with some quite tricky and unstable areas the ford did not challenge the Land Rover. After visiting another area in Kadadu National Park, Ubirr Rock, with a nice view over wetlands, we left after a week or so and headed towards Darwin, the capital of the Northern Territory. Here, we hoped to replace our solar panel on the roof tent, which we found out was broken in New Zealand. After searching in New Zealand and other Aussie cities, we finally found one we could use in Darwin. It was rated at only 40 watts instead of 55–60 watts, but it would be better than nothing. In Darwin we enjoyed the mild climate, internet cafes, a McDonald’s, and the news that the German Soccer National Team had lost the final match against the Spaniards in the European Cup (not so great!) We finally left Darwin to visit Litchfield National Park, located just a short distance south. Litchfield National Park is often praised as the Jewel of the Northern Territories, but we found it too crowded. Instead, we sought a secluded spot where we could use our newly-mounted solar panel. We headed towards Western Australia. On the way, we couldn’t resist stopping at a roadhouse with a sign reading, “Victoria River Roadhouse. Now Open Under New Wife”. After two days drive and over 500 miles, we finally reached the border of Western Australia. There we camped at Keep River National Park with its astounding beehive shaped rock formations. As fresh meat, fruit and vegetables cannot be carried into Western Australia (fruit fly quarantines) we enjoyed a large barbeque before our border crossing. Having sucessfully crossed into Western Australia, we headed further west and admired the typical Kimberley scenery, dominated by the bizarre looking boab trees. Near the famed 300 mile Gibb River Road, we headed south towards Bungle Bungle National Park with its famous beehive-shaped rock formations. The 30 mile track to the Bungle Bungles requires four-wheel drive, with lots of river crossings, rocky paths and washboard. After we found a rovers magazine / 11
