TROPICAL FIX

SPENDING a week in the Top End offers up ample opportunity to experience everything the tropics can throw at you: an abundance of water, sorbet sunsets, fronds the size of houses, crocodiles (from afar!), Indigenous culture and frosty mango smoothies thrown in for good measure. To ensure all items sit on the menu, side-trips out of Darwin to Mary River and Kakadu National Park are a must.

NOTHING BEATS SEEING CROCODILES IN THEIR NATURAL ENVIRONMENT, PATROLLING THE RIVER FOR FOOD.
