This leg (Stage) may end up being our most popular one as we have had alot of interest in it already. I suppose as a cyclist it is not a route many people would ride unsupported due it's remote areas. We will be leaving Darwin on a Saturday morning so the traffic should be OK although I don't think there are too many peak hour traffic jams in Darwin too often.
We travel down the Stuart Hwy to Adelaide River.

This is a must see at Adelaide River- can't miss him as he is holding up the bar

The Big Croc- what a happy chappy he looks.

This guy just looks hungry

We will need to watch the crocs around this area or probably for most of this leg although Collis says I over exaggerate the dangers of the crocodiles.

Pine Creek Railway- worth a quick look.

We stay going south on the Stuart Hwy until Katherine when we start to head west.

Katherine Gorge- rest day.

Katherine Gorge is a must see & there are many tours going down the gorge or you can canoe down by yourself or as a group.

My favorite tree- they are just so huggable. This one is just outside Victoria River

Once we leave the Stuart Hwy the terrane changes & becomes quite barren at times. The colours keep changing & the fauna changes frequently as well.

Timber Creek Caravan park- shaded!!

Lake Argyle is a huge expanse of water- lucky we have a rest day.

Lake Argyle is like a mirage & very enjoyable break to take.

Great swimming hole & quite an energetic walk to get here- lucky we have another rest day. Kununurra

Things start becoming a little sparse as we leave Kununurra.. We will be having to make our own fun & entertainment for a few days I think. A couple of bush camps will do the trick.

The Bungle Bungles can be accessed out of Warmun but they are difficult to get to unless you have a 4WD or take a tour. We don't have a rest day here so time is tight but the riders could get together & take one of the flights that fly over them.

Then we hit Fitzroy Crossing and things start looking up again for a little while.

Fitzroy Crossing- another rest day here.
