My Trip Darwin To Alice Springs

Before coming back to Taiwan from Australia, I planned a long trip form Darwin to Adelaide alone. It took me about two weeks, and I also met a lot of friends who were from different countries which gave me an unforgettable experience and memory.

My first trip was three days from Darwin to Alice Springs, so I flew form Melbourne airport to Darwin airport. When I was on my way to the airport, I was happy and excited without being nervous, until I arrived at Darwin I started feeling nervous because I really felt I was alone. The trip of three days includes 3 nights camping, 3 lunches, 3 dinners, 3 breakfasts and National Parks fees. I visited Litchfield National Park, Katherine Gorge and Mataranka Springs, Waters Pub and Devils Marbles and Alice Springs. The first day was very unlucky because I waited for my tour guide to pick me up and she was very late. I thought I was going to be stood up by her. Finally, I get on the bus and felt much at ease. I remembered Deveils Marbles the most because it was the first time I slept outside on the big rock only with a sleeping bag. Actually I am afraid of the dark and I don't know what made to be so brave. One third day, I had a little accident which I stripped on stairs at dark. Maybe because of it, everyone in my group knew me and gave me a warm care. Northern Territory of Australia is very beautiful with the blue sky, less people, special landscape and some wild animals. It was quite an adventure to me.
