Wet season in east Indonesia is, well, it’s wet.

Banda Neira is one of eastern Indonesia’s gorgeous little harbour towns. I first visited in 2023, and learnt so much about the spice trade and the tumultuous history centred around nutmeg. One side of the sheltered harbour is formed by the volcano known as Gunung Api. I love how this 640m peak seems to generate its own weather system

These monkeys sure are cheeky! It’s never a good idea to put anything down. This dude made a beeline for my friends drink bottle the moment he put it down…

There’s barely been a cloud in the Darwin sky since April. Yeah, winter in the tropics…
But, the build up to the wet season is here. The sunsets last even longer, humidity is next level. The sea lures me for both its tranquility and its cool breeze.

Dubbed the “most beautiful ship in the world” it’s hard to argue.

I love getting out of my comfort zone & exploring the lesser travelled path. But sometimes this is much tougher than I make it look on socials. Behind the scenes there were near tears of frustration twice on this two day trip. First, when @sealinknt denied me boarding in Darwin for the ferry ti Bathurst, despite having paid for a ticket (an error on their admin meant I wasn’t on the manifest). Then again when trying to fly back to Darwin & Fly Tiwi had booked me on a flight dated 2weeks prior. Missing that last flight of the day would have seen me literally sleeping on the dirt at the ‘bush terminal’ as I was completely on my own. Fortunately they had 1 seat if I was prepared to pay again. I was. After sitting in the heat, dirt, dust & fly-ridden bush terminal for 4hrs I would have sold my soul to be on that flight.
Sometimes, this job is far from the canapes & cocktails I’d have you believe. But. Still I love it. Just not today so much. 😬
It looks like Fiji, right? Or Lizard Island, QLD. But no, this is the Northern Territory. Crystal clear water. Soft silica sand so white you need to wear shades. This is true luxe glamping. On the beach. On an island. Accessible by private boat from Gove/Nhulunby. Unless you’ve got your own yacht of course, then you could sail here and drop anchor in the sheltered bay.

“Drive it like you stole it” said no one at PECLA. But I sure wanted to. How to giggle your way around a race track? Strap yourself into a Porsche 911 or a GT3.

Sunset at sea on the Southern Ocean south of Adelaide, don’t come more tranquil than they do tonight. What I love most? Going to bed with my balcony door wide open, hearing the whoosh of the sea, watching the last rays of light dancing upon the water… sigh…
