We all have never been up there from Perth and just seeing where are the good places to stay .We are looking to stay in self contained accommodation style . Plus be good to catch up for drinks while I'm up there if not a cruise. |

Don't stay overnight in Fitzroy, push on to Halls Creek which isn't much better.
In Kunnanurra there's some great Caravan Parks with accomodation, try and spend a day or 2 there, so much to see especially the Ord River dam/project, get some mangoes etc. On the way to Darwin check out Litchfield National Park, heaps of great swimming holes and water falls, it's about 2 hours south of Darwin.

Go to the Shark place in the main street & go in the 'cage of death'
Litchfield National Park is well worth the drive, so nice there. As for watering holes, no idea, I didn't head out on my own when I was there - my wife was pregnant at the time so I only drank at a few crappy places & where we we're staying - Skycity Casino <-- don't go there its so old & run down..
