Day 57 - Monday 27th May 2013 (Travelled 52.8 kms) So we have discovered that the bats aren't squabbling but chattering, nevertheless, they are hard to take at 4.50 am in the morning. The boat cruise on the beautiful Katherine River has our attention. A most informative general commentary with a good touch of humour by two of our young indigenous cruise directors. At the end of the first gorge and walk we viewed some of the indigenous artwork before boarding our...

Week 7 Day 43 - Monday 13th May 2013 (Travelled 191 kms ) Lots of rain last night here at Drysdale Station and hence a cooler morning (still shorts and T-shirt weather though). Left Drysdale Station to head to Mitchell Falls (Punamii-Unpuu). The caravans have been left behind and the next couple of nights we will tent it!

On instruction from Ken, I was to text our most famous and very knowledgeable fisherman Simon who after some time got back to us saying that it was a Dart. All solved. Broke camp at 10.45 this morning, to look for another camp...

Day 16 - Tuesday 16th April 2013 (Travelled 510 kms) 5.30 wake up to a beautiful sunrise, cooked breakfast and broke camp at 8.00 am with a big day of travelling. After fuelling up at Caiguna's Roadhouse, we travelled the longest stretch of straight road in Australia (90 miles -151 kms) between Caiguna and Balladonia, then onto Norseman. A quick look around, then from here southwards towards Esperance, with our night stopover at the Salmon Gums Community Car...
