Almost missed stopping here, but glad we didn't. The history and monuments to the buffalo industry were worth seeing. The van park out the back looked inviting with it's grassy sites.

Kakadu is such a vast national park with wetlands and rocky formations. With the NT burning off program it isn't as dense as you would expect. Air is the best way to see it.

We got a good look by air includ...

Having a month in Darwin allowed us to settle in and take it easy. We loved the climate which made it comfortable to go site seeing. The east point military museum was fascinating as was the Parliament House tour. I think we managed to coffee and lunch our way through some wonderful venues. Excursions included the ferry, wharf, races, goal, B52 bomber, night markets, deck chair cinema, casino,show, oil tunnels as well as Geoff playing in the week long bowls carni...

We decided to do the full day tour out to Corroboree Billabong along the Adelaide River. The coach driver was very knowledgable about the area and vegetation. We had a stop to see the albino buffalo and the Windows To The Wetlands Centre before our cruise and lunch. The scenery was very peaceful with a few croc sightings along the way.

Katherine was an enjoyable week. The park had the springs out the back gate which we relaxed in almost every day. We were able to ride our bikes into town for coffee and shopping. We drove out to have a look at RAAF Tindal as well as taking the guided tour of Cutta Cutta Caves. Of course we did the Nitmiluk gorge tour with a very informative and funny guide.
