Jon Faine's 4WD being loaded onto the cargo ship to Dilli

Wednesday July 16 - We board the Kathryn Bay in Darwin to go to Dili.

We have handed the car over through Customs to the shipping company, and now we get set to sail (picture - right).

While waiting we have been to Arnhem Land and watched a fella catch a huuuuuuge barramundi at Cahills Crossing on the East Alligator River.

Real crocs were catching barra too - some stupid fisher-folk tempting the crocs by offering them their legs as they fished, but the crocs prefer the fish.

Watch the interview:

We stayed two nights at Gunbalanya also known as Oenpelli. The community made us feel very welcome, run escorted tours of amazing rock art and we enjoyed a few light beers with our guide Moses at their community run social club.
