Day 39 - Berry Springs

Day 39 - Saturday - 27/6/2026

Today we went to Berry Springs. Being a Saturday in the NT school holidays there were hundreds of people swimming around in the room temperature water with pool noodles because it was super deep. Where we first got in there was a moderately strong current and we decided to walk up to the top and float downstream.

Swimming in the water

At the top of the river there was a small waterfall with very strong water; there were also a bunch of little fish biting me. We started to float down and at the start it was shallow and the river was not that wide. Just when it started to get deep, we found a good branch to swing on, so we did that for a while, then we entered the main part of the river were we first started where it was very deep. 

Climbing up the branch

Eventually we hit some shallow rocks and sand almost at the exact spot we got in. As we continued on the river was the least wide yet and the current was growing stronger and stronger until we reached a wide area where we hopped out and headed back to our stuff. We swam around a bit more in the big pool surrounded by all the tall, shady trees until it was almost time to go home. We floated down the river one more time before we went back to Batchelor. 

Floating downstream

We played mini golf again and played with some small frogs that we found.

Day 40 - Sunday - 28/6/2026

Today we hung around the caravans doing schoolwork and did mini golf again.

Day 65 - Zebedee Springs

Image
  Day 65 - Thursday - 23/7/2026 This morning we drove to Zebedee Springs and walk around in the hot water. There was a start 300m walk to the springs alongside the lush vegetation and huge cliffs. The springs weren’t two big because a bunch of rocks had fallen down into the springs blocking it off.  A small part of Zebedee Springs The crystal-clear water was super warm, and I found my spot in a rock pool where I built a dam and Me and Seb caught a tadpole. Us in Zebedee Springs The tadpole In the afternoon we went on a cruise through Chamberlain Gorge. During the cruise we saw a few Short-eared Rock-wallabies. At the end of the Cruise, we fed the fish in the water and had the Archer Fish spit at us with water when we held the food over the edge.  Feeding the fish On the way back to the car the instructor said the first person to spot a Rock-wallaby wins a bottle of champagne and I was the first person to spot one but since I can't drink champagne, I won a bottle of orange...

After we were given the all clear we headed for the nearby cafe in the airport because we didn't have any breakfast and were pretty hungry.

They led us into the small but loud plane, and we headed off on around a 1-hour flight to Sydney though our plane wa...

Day 4 - Simpsons Gap & Standley Chasm

Image
Day 4 - Saturday - 23/5/2026 - 10AM Today we drove 30 minutes to Simpsons Gap which is a gorge through the Macdonald Ranges which is close to Alice Springs. At about ten we arrived at the gap where we were joined with a park ranger who told us some interesting facts about the area mainly describing the plants and geology. Throughout the walk through the gap, we were on the lookout for the endangered black-footed rock wallabies and near the end we spotted a few jumping around. The gorge was quite large with rugged cliff faces, huge rocks and flowing water from the huge amounts of rain. After that walk we drove another 15 minutes to a place called Standley Chasm where we had lunch at a cafe and then started the walk into the chasm. At the start of the walk, we were walking in a big valley but as we entered the huge chasm we were surrounded with sheer cliffs only about 5 metres apart. After we finished that walk, we went home and did schoolwork. Black-Footed Rock Wallaby Me & Seb sitt...
