6 Day Ningaloo Whale Shark Tour
4 Day Kakadu Tour from Darwin
Walpa Gorge
Mossman Gorge remains one of those places that makes sense to recommend. It’s right in the middle of the World Heritage Daintree Rainforest near Port Douglas – despite being one of the more off-the-beaten-track type places – and it seems to strike a near-perfect balance between Indigenous culture, rainforest exploration, wildlife and swimming that’ll suit […]
Best Time To Visit Uluru
The best time to visit Uluru is discovered across many laps through Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, timing my trips between sunrise glow, summer rains, and the kind of scorching heat that turns the Australian desert into a convection oven. Ayers Rock (Uluru) never looks the same twice — dust particles shift, water vapour paints the […]
Cafes in the Grampians
The article “Cafes In The Grampians” has been percolating in my notebook ever since a particularly chilly morning, trudging along Grampians Rd in Halls Gap, searching for a cup of coffee as if my life depended on it. As I am, Oleksandr Honcharenko, I’ve learned the hard way that nothing will perk you back to […]
Visit Kings Canyon
Kings Canyon is one of those places that instantly reminds you how vast and unforgiving Australia’s interior can be. Most travellers hear the name and picture a leisurely stroll through the Red Centre, but as I, Oleksandr Honcharenko, discovered while tackling that first steep section above Kings Creek, the Northern Territory doesn’t hand out easy […]
Maguk Gorge
Maguk Gorge, also known as Barramundi Gorge or just Barramundi Falls, is one of those places in Kakadu that only the willing get to. And that’s what makes it so darn special. Tucked away in the deep heart of Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory’s wild Top End, this plunge pool and waterfall is […]
Yellow Water Billabong
Yellow Water Billabong sits quietly within the vast expanse of Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory. But the moment I drifted across its still surface at sunrise with the mist rising off the water lilies and a croc gliding silently past like some prehistoric submarine, I knew this wasn’t just another wetland – it’s […]
Jim Jim Falls
Jim Jim Falls has the knack of putting you straight back into your place, a place where you quickly learn who’s boss. The first time I drove into the Jim Jim region of Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory, I thought I had a handle on “remote”, but the Jim Jim Falls Road had […]
River Torrens
River Torrens has been a regular haunt of mine, especially around Torrens Lake, that picturesque stretch alongside the city skyline and Elder Park – a spot that never fails to grab my attention. I’m Oleksandr Honcharenko, and I’ve spent countless hours following the river all the way from its start in the Adelaide Hills and […]
