Mataranka, where I decided to stay. God knows why...

Some fun at the bitter springs in Mataranka.

And here are the watermelon guys, met at the springs


My friends will be soon gone...

And work's waiting for me. Welcome in my watermelon world!
Plantation...


Preparing the watermelon for a long truck ride through Australia to your Woolies.

My dear pickers ready to roll. 7am. I'm the driver, let's go!

A little break in the fields



The boys' favourite leisure: fireworks in the paddocks!



On a break in Darwin...

...we decide to go to Isotopia Festival, held in Litchfield NP.


with a muddy dance floor. But nothing can stop Alex from dancing.






And back home (Mataranka) through the Butterfly Farm, in Batchelor.




Let's have a rest with the kids ;)

And then, Kakadu, here we come!





Bush fires.

On the other side of the river is Arnhem Land, last aboriginal land in Australia. Entry is forbidden.













What you see on the foreground is not snow, they 're mosquitoes!

Departure from Darwin for a adventure in Litchfield wonderland

Mickael and me are ready to rock the road!

...with a wonderful team, and a awesome car. Wich is NOT called Titine.

And here is our first stop: Buley Rock Hole







And that's Surprise Creek, where we're having a bath. With an eco friendly soap, of course.


Ca, c'est une termitiere, mon pote!
