Leyland's Australia Episode 4: Karumba To Darwin

Departing Karumba in the gulf of Carpentaria the Leyland's venture south to avoid roads inundated by wet season rains which block their progress west. At Mt. Isa they are flooded in for ten days before proceeding into the Northern Territory. They relax at Mataranka Hot Springs before venturing up Katherine Gorge. From here they visit a butterfly farm, a steam driven gold battery at Pine Creek, hand feed wild fish in the Darwin Harbour and feast on Asian cuisine at the Rapid Creek Markets. The top end wet season bursts with life as rejuvenating monsoonal rains transform scorched dry grasslands to carpets of tropical green, and turn dry cracked mudholes to overflowing wetlands in both Litchfield and Kakadu National Parks.
