DAY 13/14: Firmly entrenched in the top end’s capital, Steve Mills played tourist on Monday morning, visiting Kakadu National Park before a live broadcast from the Mercure Kakadu Crocodile Hotel, surely one of the more interesting hotel designs going around these days.

While Millsy enjoyed the comfy confines of broadcasting within the plush,air-conditioned hotel, partner Tricia was busy snapping the serene surrounds of the tourism mecca in plus-30 degree heat, risking her life to capture the beautiful, croc-infested yellow water billabongs for this blog.

Monday was a jam-packed show, starting off with a chat on site with Kakadu National Park manager Shaun Barclay.

Later in the show he spoke with Jacinta Koch, Mercure Kakadu Crocodile Hotel general manager

Tuesday saw Steve broadcasting Millsy at Midday with a killer view from the Darwin Waterfront, still safe from the snappy hazards.

He caught up with Darren Lynch, owner of the Precinct Tavern, and Hope Taylor from the Darwin Waterfront, but a feature of Tuesday’s Millsy at Midday program was his interview with Phillippa Butt, editor of the ‘Sunday Territorian’ at legendary publication NT News, famous for headlines such as ‘I stuck a cracker up my clacker’.

Admirably aided by his lovely partner Tricia capturing the action behind the scenes, Millsy is on a radio road trip adventure, broadcasting live from some the state’s most remote and renowned towns and destinations.

Millsy is on air daily from 12pm to 3pm, capturing the qualities of each town and the people that make them tick, with his journey detailed in his Long Way to the Top tour blog, which we’ll update after each broadcast.
