All Roads Lead To Katherine - Twice (Part 2)

See I told you all I would be back today. Something I forgot to mention yesterday about when we were visiting Douglas Daly Hot Springs. Just that you really do come across some different people doing what we are. There was a bloke there that spent all his time in string bikini bottoms - not a good look, worse than Tony Abbott in his "budgie smugglers". Even first thing in the morning he would have on a lumber jacket and his string bikini - weird eh.
So we have left Litchfield and headed to Darwin, we had a few days to relax, have the car serviced - $1300 the poorer, off to Mendil markets. We went to Mendil 5 years ago when we were last in Darwin, I don't think it was nearly as good, other than the variety of food stalls it was just like any other market around.
After our few days in Darwin we headed south again to Katherine so that we can do a right turn and go west. While at Katherine we went did a breakfast cruise on Nitmiluk (Katherine) Gorge. A truly magnificent place, the sheer size and to think that during the wet season the water is about 7 meters higher than they are at the moment (about one third of the way up the gorge wall). That is one hell of a lot of water.





After our few days back in Katherine we are getting ready for our journey westward. Our first stop will be Kununurra but before hand we are stewing apples and making vegetable soup. WA is not keen on letting fruit and veg or honey into their state.
Sorry about the crazy layout but this thing has a mind of its own. Until next time stay safe.
