Other than that, there's not a lot of diving in the north. I did do Darwin harbour which was an interesting combination on 2m viz and possibly saltwater crocs. I wouldn't bother again, there wasn't a lot left of the wreck I did. Most of it had been salvaged. Jason

| Whale shark season is April to June but it varies slightly. I got delayed and didnt get up there till begin July but I was lucky and the spotter place found one which we followed. Yes you can 'only' snorkel with them but what an experience and yes its quite pricey but go in the middle of the season and you wont fail to find some. Lots of outfits doing it some do tend to cut corners a bit! Do it with Nigaloo Blue based in Exmouth (top notch outfit) who work hard to make it a fun day. We started out swimming with mantas till the plane got up and out looking then spent an hour or so following this whale and swimming with it, humpbacks to watch at lunchtime and then saw a pair of dugongs on the way back. Brill day and well worth it. Whole day is also videoed if you want to buy it. If you are up and out that way also go to Kirijini Nat Park absolutley awesome. I did a lot of the Nat Parks when i was out there but Kirijini with its incredibly deep gorges is awesome . |

| I'm coming back home on Saturday, I love it here and I want to stay for ever and ever. Australia is FANTASTIC in every way. I might be hot on your heels and return later this year if I can work things out. I have spent a month in shorts, t shirts and flip flops and now have to come back to freezing UK. Boo Hoo
